Of course, she has some warm memories about working for him. However, in contrast to the almost uncritical lionization of Kennedy by such outlets as the Associated Press and the Los Angeles Times as well as by Evan Thomas of Newsweek, Estrich was able to look at her former boss, warts and all, in a surprisingly frank remembrance in her column. She did not attempt to bury his faults as you can see in this critique of his speaking style: The first time I wrote...

We recently saw skepticism emanating from Morning Joe's Mika Brzezinski and now fellow liberal, Susan Estrich, is expressing deep doubt that any such plan is economically feasable. Estrich kicks off her column with a sarcastic look at the "success" of Obama's stimulus plan: The stimulus program must really be succeeding in Washington, D.C. Government is hiring; people are working. In fact, if news reports are to be...

She believes that the current coordinated Democrat strategy of attacking Rush Limbaugh is completely counterproductive. And she's right: He talks for hours every day. He gets paid to talk. Just talk. Doing it well is no small thing; witness the number of people who have tried to be him, or be the NOT-him, and failed. But he doesn't have to build a coalition. He doesn't need the votes of the other side to earn his check. He doesn't have to write the legislation, convince Olympia Snowe, raise money to keep the lights on, put...

The demands of that job mean she doesn't get to see the kids as often as she likes. She is overweight and lacks the discipline to exercise regularly.

She didn’t remember what happened, which led at least one of her colleagues, and countless bloggers, to speculate that she had literally been a victim of the Right-wing hit machine. Not so, as it turned out. No one hit her, Right wing or otherwise. She fell. The colleague who had ranted about the Right attacking her apologized and took it all back. End of story? Not quite.

On the Democratic side, it was Hillary Rodham Clinton; "the rock star and the rest" was the title of one memorable National Journal assessment of the race. On the Republican side, it was John McCain. We Democrats were actually pretty worried about McCain. He was old, but he didn't seem it; what he seemed was experienced, independent, his own man, the one candidate in the Republican field who had the advantage of having gone through the process before.

As the author of one of the anti-Godless books (mine is called "Soulless"), I suppose I should be happy, but I would happily sacrifice book sales to elevate the political discourse. To be honest, I had almost concluded that Ann had disappeared, at least from my radar screen, and if that meant less interest in my answering her outlandish charges, it was a small price to pay. No such luck. The occasion for Ann's return to white-hot prominence is strictly commercial. Her paperback edition of "Godless," the book that made headlines by ridiculing 9/11...

Hats off to Ann Coulter for playing us like a piccolo. Yes, she's done it again. Fools r we. A week ago, she was almost invisible, lying low since taking on the 9/11 widows. The only news about her seemed to be related to that pesky problem she had in Florida figuring out where to vote. You know how it is in Florida. Haven't you noticed?

It is his undoing — the public playing out of his fatal flaws, and the reason his second term will come to naught. It is the product of this president's arrogance and insecurity, as surely as an affair with an intern was the reflection of Bill Clinton's needs and denial. But unlike the last president's foolish affair, which he paid for dearly, we pay for this one.
