Monday, August 20, 2007 Dumb, Dumber and the Ad Agency
The Oklahoma Political News Service is looking into an incredible report that two of Oklahoma's dueling energy titans are using the same Oklahoma-based advertising/public relations firm. If true, the two companies would be guilty of "gross political stupidity" according to one source contacted by OKPNS.
The advertising firm mentioned is one of the region's most respected ad agencies, but seldom mentioned in terms of political acumen. "How do you start to explain how politically foolish it is to have your bitter foe receiving advice and counsel from the same people you pay to do the same. I cannot believe we have business leaders that naive."
Another insider says he doubts the rumor is true, but says the if the ad agency can get away with it, it's the fault of the companies paying them. "I doubt the veracity of this report, but if the agency can con these two companies into this unwise arrangement, then power to them. If it is true, it's the political bone-head play of the year."
