Barometer: Heatwave Edition

August 7, 2007 by White House Chronicle


Tom Tancredo: Bomb Mots

He would deter Islamic militants’ nuclear attacks on the United States by threatening to bomb Mecca and Medina. Mexicans should start practicing duck-and-cover. Foul/Falling

Joe Biden: Talking Guy

Good new book, but what a title to frighten away the punters. Also Joe knows he talks too much, but he can’t shut up. Something to do with his childhood stutter? Rain/Cloudy

Barack Obama: Treading Water

He’s in the foreign policy deep-end, and Hillary Clinton is trying to push him under. Don’t worry, Barack, she’s the one who voted for the war. Obama wins on points. Fair/Rising

John Edwards: Our Crowd

Poor little rich boy is trying to be a populist. But he’s not gotten through to the minimum-wage crowd. They suspect a trick. Only his hairdresser knows for sure. Rain/Cloudy

Rudy Giuliani: Magic Date

Did you know he was mayor of New York City on 9/11? If you didn’t know, he was mayor of NYC on 9/11, you should know he was on deck on 9/11. Let the angels sing: “Giuliani was mayor of The Big Bagel on 9/11.” Sing we now. Foul/Falling

Mitt Romney: Moving Target

Mitt has flipped to please the base, and the base hasn’t responded. All that Massachusetts liberalism leaves it mark. Rain/Cloudy

Llewellyn King

I have never done political consulting. So it was novel to me when a candidate in the midterms asked me what he should be worried about in 2027. I repeated what Harold Macmillan, British prime minister from 1957 to 1963, is believed to have said, “Events, dear boy, events.” Actually, I had a little list […]

How U.S. Natural Gas Came Back from the Dead

How U.S. Natural Gas Came Back from the Dead

Llewellyn King

The Trump administration is proud of America’s dominance in natural gas. The nation is the world’s largest producer and a net exporter. We produce a quarter of the world supply of the fuel, which has become fundamental to electricity production. Forty-three percent of our electricity is generated from natural gas. According to the Energy Information […]

Foreign Aid That Works — the Malawi Story

Foreign Aid That Works — the Malawi Story

Llewellyn King

In 2005, Gordon Brown, British chancellor of the exchequer, later prime  minister, was in Washington, seeking to raise $50 billion annually in  additional international aid for Africa. I hosted a press event for Brown at the National Press Club, and I  asked him how all this money would get to the people who needed it? […]

Is Rubio Starting a Nuclear Arms Race in the Middle East?

Is Rubio Starting a Nuclear Arms Race in the Middle East?

Llewellyn King

The Trump administration has announced and appears to be crowing over an agreement with Saudi Arabia to help the kingdom not only to build nuclear power plants but also to enrich the uranium fuel. There is no reason for the Saudis to enrich uranium. There are plenty of willing suppliers of enriched uranium and more […]
