El Mundo Reports that J.J. Rendón Lied on Resume

Submitted August 21, 2004 - 1:31 pm by Al Giordano
According to the opposition afternoon daily, El Mundo (excerpt courtesy of Apporea.org), "political consultant" and "rumorologist" J.J. Rendón - inventor of the fraudulent claim of touchscreen voting machine fraud in Venezuela's Sunday referendum - ahem, embellished his own resume!

I don't know if it is true or not, but El Mundo columnist Humberto Marquez apparently wrote:

Regarding J.J., the source says that he is a self-consumed mythomaniac who claims to have been president of the Chiripa publicity agency but was not, who graduated as a psychologist but did not, who is an academic publicist and he is in title. Under his leadership Publiteca went bankrupt and he had to escape to Mexico due to various swindles he consumed toward his partners in the AD HOC publicity agency.

Finally, he represents himself as an image consultant for Vicente Fox and Hillary Clinton, and that is not true either...

I had not heard this thing about Fox and Hillary but, lo and behold!, it's interesting... given that the polling firm of Penn, Schoen & Berland says the same thing. Which leads one to wonder... do Doug Schoen and J.J. Rendón work together? That would explain a lot.
