Is Kagan Gay? It's All the Talk, and That's a Shame
By Luisita Lopez Torregrosa - Politics DailyLet's face it. To the world at large, being gay is a terrible thing to be. People whisper the word, gossip about it, trade in innuendos about it, as if being gay were a crime. That brings us to Elena Kagan. Here she is: a brilliant, accomplished, fabulously successful lawyer and professor, dean of the Ivies, academic par excellence, and a good-time gal, a former smoker who plays poker and can swing a bat. She's a New Yorker, a child of the Upper West Side of Manhattan, dutiful daughter of dutiful liberal parents, and soon-to-be Supreme Court justice. Who could ask for anything more? Well, ...
Charges and Countercharges: Did Bush Knowingly Mislead the U.S. Into War With Iraq?
By David Corn - Politics DailyPeter Wehner, a Politics Daily colleague, was quite gracious to accept my challenge to defend his old boss, George W. Bush -- that is, to partially accept it. Regular readers of this column might recall that in a March 17 article, I insisted that the evidence is quite clear that Bush and his crew misled the American public into the Iraq war. I noted that in the months prior to the March 2003 invasion they had "waged a willful campaign of misrepresentation and hyperbole" about the supposed WMD threat posed by Iraq. It wasn't merely a matter of Bush, Dick Cheney and the others repeating in good ...
Hillary Clinton and Madeleine Albright Dine Together: A 'Women Secretary of State Club'?
By Emily Miller - Politics DailySecretary of State Hillary Clinton and her former counterpart Madeleine Albright had a two-hour dinner in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday night. The two dined at downtown hot spot Bibiana Osteria-Enoteca. At a quiet corner table, the only two Democratic female secretaries of state were seen talking throughout the entire meal. Both women seemingly came straight from work, wearing business suits to dinner. The reason for the dinner and topics of conversation between the two women are unknown. When asked for comment, a State Department spokesman only said the meeting was "a private event" and ...
Emily's Post: From Gossip Fodder to Gossip Columnist
By Emily Miller - Politics DailyHaving been fodder for every gossip column in town, starting today I'm turning the tables -- and becoming one D.C. gossip columnist who fully gets what it's like to be on the receiving end. Everybody knows Washington politics is not for the meek or thin-skinned. And I've lived, worked and loved D.C. politics and media since I was 18 years old. In the years since, I've toiled on the Hill, at the State Department, in the Bush 43 administration, and for the Washington bureaus of two TV network news divisions. I've also counted chads in the Florida recount, run for my life from the Capitol on ...
4th Graders' Bias Shows in Condi Rice-Michelle Obama Questioning
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyPeople are always complaining about a liberal media bias, but I think I've stumbled onto a much more insidious, farther-reaching bias: grammar school kids.Remember Ria Misra's story yesterday, about a fourth-grader who grilled Condoleezza Rice about the Bush torture memos? I half expected Rice to implore the kid not to taze her.Now, compare that to the question this kid asks Michelle Obama:So, what can be done about this? ...
Condoleezza Rice Vs. 4th Grader
By Ria Misra - Politics DailyIf Condoleezza Rice thought the students of Stanford were a tough crowd, she hadn't yet met the fourth-grade class of the Jewish Primary Day School of the Nation's Capital. ...

Condi Rice Has No Interest in Being Commissioner of the Pac-10
By Chas Rich - AOL NewsPreviously, Pac-10 Commissioner Tom Hansen had announced that he was stepping down at the beginning of July. The Pac-10 with its usual speed and decisiveness have done little to suggest they have narrowed down their list of candidates. Instead the list appeared to be growing, and the candidates will not be narrowed until maybe the spring.Since last week, there was a growing rumor that after signing with the William Morris Agency, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was a candidate for the position of Commissioner of the Pac-10. This would be a shift from returning to Stanford to teach, ...
Laura Bush, Condi Rice Defend Bush Presidency
By Mark Impomeni - Politics DailyGeorge W. Bush has at least two staunch defenders of his legacy as president, and they are the two most influential women in the White House, First Lady Laura Bush and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. The two women are defending the Bush presidency against charges that it has been a failure. Speaking on the Sunday news shows, Bush and Rice both said that the judgment of history will be kind to President Bush, and sooner than anyone thinks.Both women focused their remarks on the president's record in foreign affairs, noting that the United States has helped liberate millions of people under ...
Condoleezza Rice, Obviously Qualified, Could Be Interested in 49ers Front Office Job
By Ryan Wilson - AOL NewsThe 49ers canned head coach Mike Nolan on Monday, and apparently, it's just the beginning of a front office overhaul. The club managed just 18 wins in 55 games, and were 2-5 this season. That, along with 2005 first-overall pick Alex Smith's glacial development had just about everything to do with Nolan's current status. But this morning, NFL Network's Adam Schefter reports that Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice might be interested in a job with the 49ers in the near future."We all know that change has swept through San Francisco, but now it looks like more could be coming. The 49ers have ...
