ParkRidge47 Lands At Dem Media Firm

For a news cycle, Phil deVellis was THE major story in America. Then he lost his job.

In his spare time, he had created an iconic web television casting Hillary Clinton as hidebound and Barack Obama as a political savior. Unfortunately, de Vellis was employed by a consulting form that worked for Obama, and de Vellis neglected to clear his work with his employer.

Now, de Vellis has landed on his feet. He's been hired by Murphy Putnam Shorr, a Democratic media firm, to work on online video production and strategy. One of MPS's clients is NM Gov. Bill Richardson, and de Vellis allows that in his new incarnation he might "do some stuff for them."

Of course, he says, "everything I would do I would run past the firm." [MARC AMBINDER]

Richardson is still governor.

I am surprised Richardson has been unable to get any traction.

I'm not - he's a terrible candidate.
