I met Bush rather briefly when he was governor of Texas and found him to be intelligent and funny -- though he certainly turned out somewhat differently than I anticipated.
Hugo Chavez defied this history of power relations in the hemisphere. And for that defiance elite voices will vilify him, but a far larger number of people will see him as a hero.
WASHINGTON ā Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice says the Republican Party must adapt better to rapidly changing demographics in the United S...
Though scores of Republicans are looking at poll numbers and moving to the sidelines or outright jumping ship, at least two imaginative Romney cheerleader/pundits -- Hugh Hewitt and Dick Morris -- maintain a different view. They say Romney already is ahead.
President Obama made no claim that he built that by himself. On Labor Day, he recognizes the contributions union and non-union workers made to building this great country. All Americans built that.
For Mitt Romney, the convention provides his latest attempt to re-introduce himself to the American people. But what's that old ad tag line? "You never get a second chance to make a first impression." It's not a Don Draper line but it sounds like it ought to be.
Sarah Palin sounded off on Mitt Romney's NAACP speech on Thursday, criticizing Democrats like House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi for theorizing that t...
WASHINGTON -- Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is trying to tamp down any speculation she could be Mitt Romney's vice presidential running m...

Every day that passes without an announced GOP presidential candidate debating the issues with the president makes Barack Obama look like a two term president. You can't beat somebody with nobody!
Here we get the set-up for Rice's new public persona, as well as the narrative she will use over the next few weeks on the talk show circuit to strangle and drown her membership in BushCo.
Reading the book I'm struck by the threads of continuity running from 1970 to 2010. America was in a state of imperial overstretch, riven by a foolish war and roiled by divisive politics. And Hart has had a unique vantage point throughout.
If congressional Republicans opposed the PPCA (i.e., health care reform) because it is an imposition on liberty and the free market, what must they think about the powers of the FDA, which regulates 30% of the economy?
During the course of the Winter Olympics, 24 lost some two million viewers per episode which haven't returned. The show is in its eighth and final season.
