RNC PR Director Calls Mark Zuckerberg's Sister "Totally Full of Sh*t," Then Backpedals: "I LOVE Facebook"

While a blog's comments section can be rife with snide remarks, there are often some gems to be found. Such is the case with a post that appeared last Friday at Inside Facebook, a Facebook-focused blog based in Palo Alto. The post was titled “Why Isn’t the Republican Party More Interested in Facebook,” and quotes Randi Zuckerberg, Facebook’s manager of political and social change initiatives (and the CEO’s sister), who’d shared her perceptions about the 2008 presidential campaign with a entrepreneurial crowd on Thursday night. During her address at the dinner, held in Palo Alto, Zuckerberg told the audience that the “Obama campaign was really run like a technology company. They were really quick to adopt a lot of things. They actually came to us with more ideas than we brought to them. We were really focused on building scalable tools for any politicians to use, local or national, and the Obama campaign had really tremendous ideas for how to leverage the viral spread of information.”
