Last night's debate in New Hampshire was most notable for proving once again that Republicans and especially conservative Republicans should avoid the dinosaur media like the plague. Last night's debate was hosted by ABC, and moderated by George Stephanopoulos - ex-campaign operative, Senior Advisor on Policy and Strategy and press spin jockey for President Bill Clinton, who walked into ...

So now we have the Coalition government channelling Gordon Brown ( and more worryingly more Bill Clinton - of which more further down ). On Newsnight last night I saw a normally sane Grant Shapps talking about the need, on Newsnight no less, to "do something"tm Gordon Brown. The "Lib Dem lead" Coalition ( as I'm toying with now calling it ) wants tax payers who have paid their debts or who at...

About 15 years ago, Bill Clinton wanted to promote home ownership among the low-paid, but was annoyed that banks wouldn’t lend freely or cheaply to that group. So, the federal government intervened with Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae selling government-backed mortgages at knockdown rates. Nothing showed up on the national debt, because the loan would — in theory — be repaid. The seed...

A week is a long time in politics, but it also sometimes seems to move at a glacial pace. It is now two decades since Bill Clinton won the presidency on the slogan that ‘trickle down economics’ doesn’t work. Yet even a couple of years ago, there was Labour’s Peter Mandelson being ‘relaxed’ about people

As he fades into the political sunset, Anthony Weiner won't be around to provide as much of the fodder for the late-night comedians, as he has been the gift that just keeps on giving! On the other hand Bill Clinton is still good for a punch-line or two! From one of the shows comes this: __________________________________________________________ Bill Clinton had sex, lied about it and kept his...

Adam Curtis’s new series is as visually engaging as ever, yet his arguments for once seem to fall short.

Elections are won and lost, generally, not on matters outside the country concerned, but on domestic issues: not for nothing did Bill Clinton’s 1992 campaign use the strapline “It’s the economy, Stupid”. And that is still the case in the USA: while those of a right leaning persuasion were lauding the address to Congress of Israeli PM Binyamin Netenyahu, and writing down Bar...

People are always quick to throw accusations of ‘triangulation’ at centre-left politicians without due consideration, I think. Tony Blair and Bill Clinton definitely employed that strategy – because it involved deliberately picking fights with your own side in order to convince right-wing voters you weren’t as left-wing as they thought. But that is starkly different

I don't know which is funnier..their depiction of Bill Clinton retaking the Oval Office or of Obama as a dysfunctional yappy poodle! Heh!

Bill Clinton, out of the White House for nearly a decade and once considered a political liability, is campaigning for Democratic candidates at a pace no one can match, drawin
