What Bill Clinton and Sarah Palin Have in Common
By Melinda Henneberger - Politics DailyDo you really see Todd Purdum's work as caricature, Bonnie? I'm a fan of the TP oeuvre myself, and was particularly eager to see what he'd come up re: Sarah P. because I'd also watched her work her magic at that pro-life dinner in Evansville, Indiana, from the little press pen described in his piece on Gov. Palin in the new Vanity Fair. (Truly Guilty Disclosure: My mom was attending the dinner, too, however, as she does every year, so only I got slipped a yummy piece of velvet cake; sorry, boys!) ...
Sarah Palin and the Political Moms
By Ria Misra - Politics DailyLike many of you, I read Vanity Fair's profile on Sarah Palin Tuesday -- and Todd Purdum's profile is fascinating if for no other reason than its look at the slash-and-burn defense tactics of the Alaskan governor's shrinking inner circle.

In recent rounds of long conversations, most made it clear that they ...
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 ...
