NOTHING IN THE MCCLELLAN BOOK

Thursday, May 29th, 2008

The Bush Administration is crazy for mounting so vigorous a defense to the McClellan book, talking about what an ungrateful sleaze he is and asking how he could possibly do this to W. All this publicity is just helping book sales and leaving the average person with the impression that a top Bush official wrote a tell all book saying that Bush was a phony on the war in Iraq.

THE CLINTONS JUST HAVE TO WIN

Thursday, May 29th, 2008

Published on TheHill.com on May 28, 2008.

In January 1998, right after The Washington Post revealed President Bill Clinton’s relationship with Monica, I spoke with him about his predicament. Shell-shocked and stunned at the calls for his impeachment, he knew he was facing the fight of his life. At first, he was vintage Bill Clinton: maudlin, sad and full of self-pity. But as we talked, he gradually changed his tone. Admitting that he was not innocent, but recognizing his diminishing support, he then told me defiantly: “Well, we’ll just have to win.”

VERDICT ON SCOTT MCCLELLAN: PRESS SECRETARIES ARE NEVER IN THE LOOP

Wednesday, May 28th, 2008

One of the major misconceptions about the White House press secretary’s role is to assume that he has more power than he really does. Because he is always the president’s public face, we assume that he is our window into the White House and is a top level policy official or, at least, the one who knows what is doing on. Nothing could be further from the truth.

McClellan’s book is neither right nor wrong. It is just ill-informed. In the Clinton White House, for example, Mike McCurry, perhaps the best press secretary of our generation, never attended white house political strategy meetings. At first, he wasn’t invited. And then, he said he didn’t want to know what he couldn’t talk about. Finally, Clinton insisted that he attend.

HILLARY IS THE NEW WALLACE

Wednesday, May 28th, 2008

Published in the New York Post on May 28, 2008.

In its final days, Hillary Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign has come to echo George Wallace’s 1968 run.

Like Clinton, Wallace as a candidate stalked the Northeast exploiting white anger. Like her, he bypassed the nation’s more educated and liberal parts to focus squarely on those who felt left behind, rallying animosity against elites.

But behind the mask of populism, it was race that fueled Wallace’s campaign from the start. And it is race that has brought new life to Clinton’s campaign in its final days.

HILLARY IN DEBT; CITES HER FISCAL RESPONSIBLITY

Wednesday, May 28th, 2008

Hillary’s new ad in South Dakota begins by saying “We are $9 trillion in debt.” She goes on to pledge fiscal responsibility and to stop spending money “America does not have.”

I am confused, understandably, about whether she is referring to the US or to her own campaign in her opening line. She is, in fact at least $30 million in debt but I hadn’t realized it had grown to quite so large a sum. In any case, her campaign debt is not the best argument for her fiscal responsibility.

HILLARY’S ASSASSINATION REMARK

Tuesday, May 27th, 2008

Everybody who has thought seriously about the Obama candidacy, including me and probably including the Senator himself, have reflected on the horrible possibility that he would be assassinated. One cannot think about Obama, the Kennedy-esque candidate without worrying about his safety. But we all observe the discipline of not raising the issue in public. We all worry that to do so would be to encourage some maniac to take a shot. Now Hillary has violated this unstated but heretofore universal taboo and brought up the possibility. That is not to say that she is hoping for a murder. But it is to say that the possibility is uppermost in her mind and a significant part of her rationale for staying in the race. And, by raising it, she has made it more possible.
