CJR's Campaign desk has a regular series of interviews with reporters and others covering the 2004 campaign. The latest interview is with my brother.
Recent Bluessky Posts- Had one been elected promising national health that would have been strong evidence of a winning coalition for it. That sort of thing becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy sometimes. Electoral campaigns are not the moment to discuss the nuts and bolts of horse-trading. They're the time to inspire.

- Seems to me there ought to be a problem if large numbers of women whose married names didn't match their birth names will need to get a passport in order to vote, and that passport will come with a partisan portrait. www.thebulwark.com/p/exclusive-... April 29, 2026 Michael Froomkin
- Sad to learn that Barney Frank has entered hospice. Unfortunate he turned against the party's left, his natural allies, later in his career. April 29, 2026 Michael Froomkin
- If anything this post understates the case for the transparent idiocy of the new Comey indictment. I really wonder what the people who signed it think they are doing, and how they got that way. I sure hope I never see any former law student of mine in such a position. April 28, 2026 Michael Froomkin
Speaking of Dan, when was the last time he mentioned your excellent site in WH Briefing…
He had to be pretty desperate on Friday, linking to a Gary David Fine WP op-ed on Bush haters… (I’m sorry, but don’t ask me to take seriously any theories from someone who asks “Why all the hate” then says “Bush’s administration is free of scandals. ” Someone has not been paying attention…
Too much weird news. I can’t wait for this election to be over and the most important decisions that Bush is able to make concern which brushpile to clear and where to hang those nifty silver spurs he got as a gift.
Because I glanced at the headline of this post and immediately thought, “OMG! They’re carting journalists off to Gitmo now?” having seen “Water” and “Treatment” and filling in the “Boarding.” Crawford’s far too good for Bush, he and his cronies should be in the Hague, but I won’t complain when he’s sent packing after the election.
