who's the best?
 
In the area of political ideas, reportership, statesmanship, results,
whatever you choose... ok, some are a bit wacko, but still....

I pick (in no particular order):

Bill Clinton (N. Korea thing esp., plus he was a great president)
Hillary Clinton (class act, esp. lately)
Robert Gates (a patriot)
David Petraeus (an intellectual, a warrior, a patriot, one tough guy)
Pat Buchanan (wacko, but he's been around a long time and is pretty smart)
Dana Priest (amazing reporter)
Tom Cruise (wacko, but works hard, pretty cute too)
Stephen Colbert (funny, funny)
Jon Stewart (I'm not your trained monkey seriously funny)
Bill Maher (wacko funny)
Thomas Ricks (author, Fiasco)
Jeremy Scahill (author, Blackwater)
Patrick Fitzgerald (US attorney, one of the good guys)
Al Franken (comedian who is just too funny, seriously smart Senator)

Well... ok. When Nixon died, a friend said we should have 18 1/2 minutes of
silence in his honor.

But, I kinda liked Nixon. Read Nixon Off the Record, by Monica Crowley.
Great book.

You got to be kidding.
The man who's trying to railroad Blago?
Remember how the FBI and the press just about had Richard Jewel
convicted for the Atlanta Olympics bombing?
I predict that Blago will also be revealed as a falsely accused hero.
Could be wrong though.

Hard for a fan of Friedman's globalism to also be a fan of Pat's
anti-globalism.
