The Gang of Four Is Back
Feb. 15, 1993
DURING THE CAMPAIGN, THEY WERE AT THE HEART OF WHAT was known as the War Room, the pressurized chamber in Little Rock famed for formulating rapid political parries and thrusts: James Carville, the raging Cajun strategist; his partner, Paul Begala; media maven Mandy Grunwald; and pollster Stanley Greenberg. When they failed to follow Clinton to the White House, their laser-sharp populist instincts were soon missed. Now Clinton has called them back, though just how much he relies on them remains a question. In room 160 of the Executive Office Building, aides have re-created the War Room. Around a giant table with a dozen or so phones and six television sets (as well as around the West Wing), the four spend time with top Administration aides, helping plot strategy. As one of the quartet explains it, "Room 160 is an organizing force."

Cooper, who has worked for all three newsweeklies, is a soft-spoken politics junkie and a dead-on impressionist who has worked the comedy-club circuit. He is married to Democratic consultant Mandy Grunwald, whose father, former Time Inc. boss Henry Grunwald, died in February.

(from The Daily Belch)
" James Carville, the raging Cajun strategist; his partner, Paul Begala; media maven Mandy Grunwald; and pollster Stanley Greenberg."
These people are thick as thieves.
Greenberg is married to Rosa DeLauro- (Shrill Dem- Ct ) coincidentally, a buddy of one Hillary Rodham Clinton .
Carville, Greenberg and Bob Shrum run Democracy Corps , a 501 c.
I don't buy for one minute the fable that Cooper did not know that Wilson's wife was Valerie Flame or what she did.
