Robert Gibbs' Successor: How About a Woman as White House Press Secretary?
By Jill Lawrence - Politics DailyThe White House is looking for a successor to departing press secretary Robert Gibbs, and the top prospects -- as usual -- are men. But Politico's Mike Allen says new chief of staff Bill Daley would like a woman in the job. A woman as the face of this administration -- why, that would be something new and different. The most important qualities in a press secretary include access to the president, clarity of expression, ease on camera, and good relations with reporters. The names in the mix so far are deputy press secretaries Bill Burton (who'd be the first black press secretary) and Josh ...
Capitol Hill Breastfeeding: Can 'Boob Cubes' Boost Bipartisanship?
By Joanne Bamberger - Politics DailyNetworking in non-traditional settings is nothing new for women. When our husbands think we're just hanging out with the girls or managing the soccer game and birthday party schedules for our kids, we know that those relationships can be, and usually are, much more than just lost time. So when I read a recent New York Times story about women on both sides of the political aisle taking advantage of Capitol Hill lactation rooms, I thought that these so-called "boob cubes" could be one small step, if not the key, to the new American bipartisanship. There was no such thing as a congressional ...
Stephanopolous on 'War Room': Overwhelming 'Embarassment'
By Patricia Murphy - Politics DailyThe "War Room" followed Bill Clinton's 1992 campaign, but the documentary made stars of several members the campaign staff, including James Carville, George Stephanopolous and Paul Begala. The latter two joined Clinton's White House Press Secretary Dee Dee Myers and Nick Clooney (George's dad) at a screening of the political doc last night.Clooney quizzed the three about the making of the documentary, about changes to campaigns since 1992 and about transitioning from the campaign to the White House (all said Barack Obama's transition has been professional, orderly and focused). Here were a few ...
Is Obama The 'Most Famous Living Person Ever'?
By David Knowles - Politics DailyAn article at Vanity Fair by former Clinton Press Secretary Dee Dee Myers posits that President Barack Obama may well be the most famous living person in the history of our planet:I'm not trying to induce an acid flashback to John Lennon's infamous 1966 comment, "The Beatles are more popular than Jesus." But whether you measure fame in terms of saturation or sheer numbers, it seems indisputable to me that more people know at least something about the new American president than anyone alive, at this point-or any-in the planet's existence.Myers rightly points out that computers have helped ...
Bubba Blasts Vanity Fair 'Scumbag'
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyUpdate: Statement from Vanity Fair at the end of this article. Yesterday, former President Bill Clinton let loose a blistering stream of invective at Vanity Fair's Todd Purdum, in response to Purdum's article, "The Comeback Id." From Mayhill Fowler: "[He's] sleazy," he said referring to Purdum. "He's a really dishonest reporter. And one of our guys talked to him . . . And I haven't read [the article]. But he told me there's five or six just blatant lies in there. But he's a real slimy guy," the former president said. When I reminded him that Purdum was married to his former press spokesperson ...
