The rise once again of religious conservatives in the 2012 primary season is a perfect setting for “Clinton,” the PBS American Experience documentary of William Jefferson Clinton’s presidency. Today’s religious conservatives aren’t the same as they were in the Clinton era, but it’s a reminder of [...]

Political Junky Friday, Hosted by TCM & The Movies
One of the most important cultural links you’ll need this month: The schedule of Turner Classic Movies leading up to The Oscars.

Ryan Lizza and The Hillary Effect, Case Proved Beyond Any Doubt
The reason I wrote my book was to tell a piece of history. It was to set the record of events out for people to read and connect. The Hillary Effect gets another big boost from recent reporting that bolsters the case I make, which is backed up by the facts I offer. A memo [...]
Jodi Kantor Refutes First Lady Michelle Obama on ‘Angry Black Woman’
Jodi Kantor: Corie, I never called the first lady an “angry black woman.” Not in those words, and not by implication. The book shows her as an impassioned and supportive if sometimes critical spouse, loving mom, and most of all, as a successful professional trying to figure out the very confusing role of first lady. [...]

Bill Clinton Answers a Question
Did the press favor Barack Obama in 2008? I prove it beyond a shadow of a doubt in my book. Of course Bill O’Reilly decided to go there with former Pres. Bill Clinton.

For that he’d likely nod, then hoist an [...]
