Luke just graduated from Boston College a few weeks ago. June 13, 2008Tim Russert, 1950-2008The announcement, from Russert's close friend and colleague Tom Brokaw: May 29, 2008Scott McClellan's Book Tour Kicks OffAustinite and former Bush Press Secretary Scott McClellan appeared on the Today Show this morning, where he said he decided he had to start telling the truth. Now there's this wacky "truth" stuff spilling out all over the place, and McClellan's former White House colleagues are doing all they can to discredit him. Here's his interview from this morning. Let us know what you think. May 28, 2008The GOP's Minority Problem...... Does the GOP have a minority problem? A recent story in the Politico said yes. Here's the lede (I think that's how the newspaper people like to spell "lead"): Just a few years after the Republican Party launched a highly publicized diversity effort, the GOP is heading into the 2008 election without a single minority candidate with a plausible chance of winning a campaign for the House, the Senate or governor.Corbin Casteel, the campaign manager for Texas Railroad Commissioner Michael Williams, says Republicans don't have that problem here in Texas. Casteel's Letter to the Editor, published in the Politico today, focuses on minority participation here in the Texas GOP. The full letter is linked above, here's an excerpt: The GOP is the only party nominating and electing African-Americans. Led by party Chairman Michael Williams, who is currently running for reelection to the Texas Railroad Commission (the state's energy agency, despite its name), Texas Republicans are bucking the national "failure." BTW Michael Williams turns 55 this week, happy birthday Commissioner! Rove Calls McClellan a Seven-Letter WordAw man. The soon-to-be-released memoir by Austinite Scott McClellan is causing quite a stir this morning. Bush's Brain, Karl Rove, was on Fox News and said this (emphasis mine): "That doesn't sound like the Scott I know, it sounds like a left-wing blogger... If he had these moral qualms, he should have spoken out about them." Oh dear. Rove called McClellan a... BLOGGER??!?!? Snap! May 21, 2008Losing That Lovin' FeelingI must confess. I didn't watch last night's coverage of the Kentucky and Oregon primaries. It marked the first night I've skipped coverage of a primary or caucus since the start of this crazy season. I later watched the candidates speeches online, and found Obama's highly-praised speech to be a little... long. What's wrong with me? I think I've lost that lovin' feeling. But a link that just landed in my inbox told me I'm not alone. Here's the Columbia Journalism Review: We started the season elated at the unprecedented Historical Moment we were part of, thrilled to be covering such an Exciting Election. We're still into it, and everything, but no longer is every little thing the remaining Democratic candidates do exciting and worthy of report. We've heard their stories--over and over and over. We're know all too well their mannerisms and their quirks, their physical tics and their habits of mind. We're in the Long Haul. The honeymoon's over.Is the thrill gone for you, too? |
