What would Washington do without leaks?
Bill PressWashington insiders have a bipolar fascination with, and reaction to, leaks. First, they love 'em -- couldn't live without them.

At the same time,...Tags: Radio, Valerie Plame Wilson, Central Intelligence Agency, Terrorism, WikiLeaks

What did Susan Rice know and when did she know it?
Bill PressWe haven't heard much about the "politics of personal destruction" since Bill Clinton. But if you thought the days of mean, personal, political attacks were over, just ask Susan Rice. The campaign against her -- led by John McCain, Lindsey Graham, Susan...Tags: Democratic Party, U.S. Department of State, Central Intelligence Agency, Al-Qaeda, Sarah Palin

No, no, no -- both sides are not equally to blame
Bill PressThis is the political season. So you can expect to hear a lot of lies, and we do. "The stimulus did not create one single job."

Would you buy a used candidate from Karl Rove?

Bush, George Allen

On taxes, Republicans repudiate Ronald Reagan
Bill PressIt's a pretty big deal to have a bill named after you, especially if you're not a member of Congress. But, with any luck, this bill will actually soon become the law of the land. Of course, I'm talking about the Buffett Rule, named after the Oracle of...Tags: Voting, Mitt Romney, Politics, Parties and Movements, Personal Income

The 'Mommy Wars' are back: And Republicans are losing!

Here's the sleaze, but where's the crime?
Bill PressAfter hearing the latest daily take from the John Edwards trial, now under way in Greensboro, N.C., you almost want to take a shower. It's better (or worse) than any daytime soap.
