Barometer: Special Summer Sale–20 Percent Off All Politicos

July 5, 2007 by White House Chronicle


 


George W. Bush: Special Case

Who would’ve thought the president had such a kind heart? He let Scooter Libby walk. Pity about all the other clemency cases. But they’re not Cheney cronies. Foul/Falling

Dick Cheney: Resting Easy

Sleep well, Dick. Scooter is ruined, but he’s not going to jail. Now push George for a full pardon, and Scooter is back in business—on K Street. What are friends for? Foul/Falling

Fred Thompson: Heatstroke

Those lazy, hazy days of summer—just the time for a lazy, hazy candidate. Such a big country, so much talent, and Fred is the front-runner. Ah, the sweet mystery of B movies. Rain/Cloudy

Harry Reid: Nevada Dealer

Harry can’t hold the Democrats together, but he can keep nuclear waste out of Nevada. Harry is an unlikely front man for the casinos, but he sure keeps them winning. Fair/Rising

Hillary Clinton: Girl Interrupted

What’s a girl to do? Barack gets the money and Bill gets the crowds. Makes you wonder about democracy, doesn’t it? An unknown senator and a cheating husband get raves, and Hillary gets negatives. Rain/Cloudy

Gordon Brown: Health Threat

He knew that he’d have trouble with the U.K. health service. But he didn’t know that some of the doctors were terrorists. See what you get with socialized medicine? Rain/Cloudy

Already, robots weld, bolt and paint cars and trucks. The factory of the future will have very few human […]

The Billionaires Will Rule Down Through the Generations

The Billionaires Will Rule Down Through the Generations

Llewellyn King

Sarah Wynn-Williams’ book “Careless People” takes aim at Facebook (parent company Meta) and tells a tale of its potentate, Mark Zuckerberg, as a man who is sought after by the great and the powerful and who lacks social consciousness or real interest in anything beyond himself and his company. Wynn-Williams is the New Zealander who […]

‘Whacking the Cut’: A Different View of the BBC Crisis

‘Whacking the Cut’: A Different View of the BBC Crisis

Llewellyn King

The BBC has fallen on its sword. The director general has resigned and so has the head of news over the splicing of tape of President Donald Trump’s rambling speech on Jan. 6, 2021, which preceded the sacking of the Capitol. The editor and the technician who did the deed for the esteemed BBC program […]

It Isn’t the Stress That Gets To Air Traffic Controllers

It Isn’t the Stress That Gets To Air Traffic Controllers

Llewellyn King

If you don’t know about the stress air traffic controllers are reportedly under, then maybe you are an air traffic controller. The fact is that air traffic controllers love what they do — love it and wouldn’t do anything else. The stress comes with long hours, Federal Aviation Administration bureaucracy and a general lack of […]
