John Boehner Defends His Famous Tan
By Patricia Murphy - Politics DailyJohn Boehner, the perpetually caramel-complexioned leader of House Republicans, gamely defended his famous tan in an interview with George Stephanopoulos on Wednesday morning. After a weighty discussion about economic policy and taxes, Stephanopoulos presented the GOP leader with the results of a recent PPP poll that showed 30 percent of Ohio voters believe Boehner "spends too much time on his tan," while 27 percent "don't like his tan." "Well, they probably didn't see me yesterday when I was out cutting my grass or riding my mountain bike, all right?" Boehner said with a smile. When the ...
Amanpour Hired to Host ABC's 'This Week'
By not in system - AOL NewsNEW YORK (March 18) -- ABC News said it has hired Christiane Amanpour, one of CNN's best-known personalities for her international reporting over the past two decades, to host its Sunday morning political talk show. Amanpour, who will start in August, replaces George Stephanopoulos. He left the show in December to take over as co-host of ABC's "Good Morning America." Michael Loccisano, Getty Images ABC has hired CNN's Chistiane Amanpour to host its Sunday morning news and political talk show, "This Week." Amanpour's hiring indicates a change in direction for a show that is concerned ...
Will George Stephanopoulos Go Better With My Omelet?
By Judy Howard Ellis - Politics DailyI was prepared to drop my evening news habit this month with the departure of Charlie Gibson on "World News." Gibson was part of my dinner-preparation time, a favorite domestic ritual when I'm home -- folksy and cozy, like a warm oven, glistening plates and long dinner conversations. The capable Diane Sawyer just doesn't inspire me as that kind of a dinner accompaniment. But that's me. Certainly the wise news execs at ABC know better. It's Sawyer's long-overdue reward for her hard, distinguished work. So what if it's my TV loss? I had accepted the fact that my evening news viewing would ...
George Stephanopoulos to Host ABC's 'Good Morning America'
By David Sessions - Politics DailyABC News is expected to announce that it is promoting Washington correspondent George Stephanopoulos to replace Diane Sawyer as host of "Good Morning America," Politico reports. Sawyer will anchor her last edition of the lucrative morning program on Friday, and Stephanopoulos could start as early as next week. The former senior adviser to President Clinton will continue presiding over his Sunday program, "This Week," during a transition period, as the network is wary of losing its audience share with a sudden change. A replacement will be named later. ...

The Edwards "Doomsday" Conspiracy
By Walter Shapiro - Politics DailyFor a defrocked politician, John Edwards remains the journalistic gift that keeps on giving. Just as the Oprah-ratic debates over Elizabeth Edwards' new book were beginning to grow stale, George Stephanopoulos jumped into the fray Sunday with his jaw-dropping claim that unnamed Edwards' campaign staffers had devised a "doomsday strategy...to sabotage his campaign" if the candidate with an explosive adulterous secret ever looked like he would win the nomination. ...
Rick Warren Explains His 'This Week' No-Show: Who Knew it Was Easter?
By David Knowles - Politics DailyYesterday, Tommy Christopher detailed Rick Warren's last-minute cancellation from ABC's "This Week", where the pastor was no doubt going to be asked about being caught in a lie about whether or not he had actively campaigned on behalf of California's Proposition 8. Well, today, Politico has a story up with Warren's attempt at an explanation. Unfortunately for the mega-pastor, the explanation is likely to keep this controversy alive. First off, Warren's people want us to believe that he didn't realize what day it was that he'd agreed to appear on George Stephanopoulos's program. Via an e-mail ...
Twitter Gone Bad
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyBesides AIG bonuses and the Special Olympics, the hottest topic in politics these days has got to be Twitter (or "The Twitter," as witty slow-adopters call it). Everyone from John McCain to Rahm Emanuel's fans pour out their thoughts, 140 characters at a time.Before I get into the benefits, there are pitfalls to this sort of naked, reverse-self-stalking. While Twitter won't always cost you a job, it can produce other, undesirable results. Take, for example, George Stephanopoulos' "Twitterview" of John McCain:SenJohnMcCain hi george im a little slow SenJohnMcCainHappy St. Patricks day ...

Biased: George Stephanopoulos Gives Daily Advice to Rahm
By Matt Lewis - Politics DailyIt was recently revealed that ABC News Chief Washington Correspondent George Stephanopoulos takes part in daily "profane" phone conversations with Democratic strategists James Carville and Paul Begala. ... Oh yeah, and the daily calls also include Obama Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel. As Politico reports:Stephanopoulos' role is as the analyst and the skeptic. "George is really a big-systems thinker," Begala said. "As a journalist, he is half of a political scientist, and because he's not in the partisan battles anymore, he sees things differently."It is not unusual for a journalist like ...
