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

My Maiden Flight Without a Necktie

Llewellyn King

Friday, Aug. 14, was a seminal day for me. For the first time in my long life, I boarded a flight without a necktie. In seven decades of flying, I have never done that. Truth is, I felt underdressed on the flight from Providence, R.I., to Jacksonville, Fla., as if I were wearing my pajamas […]

Brain Injuries From Blasts Driving Young Vets to Suicide

Brain Injuries From Blasts Driving Young Vets to Suicide

Llewellyn King

We all get a warm glow when we hear the airline gate agent inviting active-duty service members to board early. What isn’t said, isn’t known, is that some of those young men and women will die eventually by their own hands, and at nearly three times the rate of civilians in the same under-34 age […]

The ‘New Weather’ Reality Will Change the Nation, Defy Politics

The ‘New Weather’ Reality Will Change the Nation, Defy Politics

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 […]
