Here’s Stephanopoulos, on page 267 of his autobiography “All Too Human,” “Most important, I wanted to keep reports of Paula [Jones’] press conference off television … It wasn’t a hard sell.” His book goes on to say how he tried to discredit her. Yes, this openly Democratic operative is a “newsman” now.

And therefore qualified to huff ‘n puff.

Cringing at mass

Telling why he hesitated to leave the anti-Vatican 2 Society of St. Pius X, biographer of its founder says it was partly because of his:

occasionally having to attend mainstream liturgies for weddings or funerals, all celebrated with varying degrees of cringe-making banality or abuse. Who could live with all that, day in and day out?

Abuse. Or inappropriate behavior.

Short-changing gifted students

And the nation, global-competitively speaking.

Bill Daley abrasive?

Chicago Bill undiplomatic?

Political pros noted that the reshuffling, less than a year after his appointment, was a sharp comeuppance for Mr. Daley, who has been faulted for fumbling the debt and deficit negotiations that deadlocked Congress earlier this year. Mr. Rouse is known for his diplomacy and has a smoother style than Mr. Daley.
