Regretfully, Washington as usual
WASHINGTON -- Last week gave us a textbook case of why Americans hate Washington. The nation was on the verge of a financial shock -- an entirely avoidable shock that policymakers themselves set in motion -- but all people in this town wanted to talk...

On Obamacare, sequester and taxes: predictions revisited
Politicians (including former politicians) like to be right more than most people. You see, in politics, public officials live or die by their (very) public opinions concerning the issues of the day. It is with this somber thought in mind that I reissue...Tags: Barack Obama, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, U.S. Congress, Gerard Depardieu, Robert L. Ehrlich Jr.

A grand bargain on life support
WASHINGTON -- The grand bargain may not be dead, but it has been given its last rites. On Tuesday morning, as President Obama and House Republicans were abandoning hope of reaching a compromise to avoid across-the-board spending cuts on March 1, the...

A new GOP, or just a cosmetic touchup?
Maybe the party is finally over. Meaning not simply the Grand Old Party, but more specifically the bacchanal of the bizarre and carnival of crazy to which it has lately devolved. So obvious has this devolution become that even Republican stalwarts...

Who-will-play-Hillary question offers a convenient distraction from real issues
If actress Scarlett Johansson plays Hillary Rodham Clinton in "Rodham" — the much ballyhooed movie bio of the young Hillary — this is what will happen: Hillary Clinton will be elected president of the United States. And I'll have no choice...Tags: Elections, Barack Obama, Washington, DC, Republican Party, Reese Witherspoon

Some advice for the Republican Party: Chill

Washington mourns loss of tea party queen
Say it ain't so. There has never been a sadder day in American politics. Political reporters are still in shock over Michele Bachmann's sudden announcement that she will not seek re-election to Congress. How dare she just up and walk away? What are we...Tags: Federal Election Commission, U.S. Congress, Bob Dole, HPV Vaccine, Values

Chuck Hagel a petty decision by Obama
It's official. President Barack Obama has named former Sen. Chuck Hagel, R-Neb., as his nominee for secretary of defense. Hence, we may be in store for the worst defense secretary nomination fight since George H.W. Bush's failed appointment of Sen. John...

Lessons for Both Parties From the 2012 Elections
The 2012 U.S. elections, though they weren’t seminal, revealed much about the nature of the body politic and the direction of American politics. Divided Government May Be Ingrained: At the presidential level, Democrats start with a decided...

Stephen Goldstein: Bush Library a lesson in hypocrisy
Everything that looked right about the recent dedication of the George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum is what's wrong with America. First, hypocrisy was in overdrive: Against the backdrop of an architecturally pre-pubescent building, on a...Tags: Karl Rove, Media Industry, Libraries, Abraham Lincoln, Central Intelligence Agency

Sarah Palin is right about Washington's press
We call it the "nerd prom," hoping that a dose of irony will inoculate us. But there's no use denying it: The White House Correspondents' Association's annual dinner is a deeply narcissistic event. I realize I'm jumping on the bandwagon late here...Tags: Lindsay Lohan, Barack Obama, Muhammad Ali, Entertainment Events, Media Industry
