tabula rasa:

Also, Andy writes the "Press Man," the last two pages of everyCommentary.  I always go there first to read and be jealous.

Isn't it time for another Uncommon Knowledge with him? · 5 minutes ago

I agree with both of these.  A podcast would be nice too.

Robert Bennett

Newt and Rick both had on their day one plans to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.  That would be another good addition.

Robert Bennett

Well...Dana Perino is worse.

Great song choice at the end!!!!  Made my morning.

Great Hari Seldon reference. 

Percival:

I have a mental image of a holographic Breitbart, appearing Hari Seldon-like in a special chamber deep within Foundation Headquarters, issuing instructions: "OK, right about now, the MSM think they are safe..."

We shall see. · 11 minutes ago

Mark Levin and Dennis Prager were great guests.  Bring in Dennis Miller!!!

Somewhat unrelated, how good was this John J. Miller article of top 50 conservative rock songs.

Robert Bennett

Thomas Sowell too seemed to tepidly come out for Newt.  That's two major economists.

It'd be fun to organize a Ricochet chess tournament.

Robert Bennett: Peter, is there video of the Ron Reagan episode? · Dec 17 at 4:14pm

Ah, you want to send us right back into the archives?  After taking a whole day-and-a-half to find this video?  I'll give it a try.  Ron was on with John Podhoretz.  At issue:  whether George W. Bush represented a worthy successor to Ronald Reagan.  Sparks flew. · Dec 17 at 6:38pm

Oh Jeez.  That makes the archives at the hoover institution sound like a scary place (like the final scene of Raiders of the Lost Ark).  Don't do it just for me though, I'll be fine with the transcript.  But if you do go, then the Hitchen/Garton Ash episode would be nice to watch too.  Sorry, I feel bad asking.

I still think about these posts we had on Vietnam last year as some of the most memorable.  Although I still can't explain why Vietnam was not considered containment.

Robert Bennett

Here's one old and unfavorable story of Newt as a boss. Christina Jeffrey has not come up in Newt attacks probably because it is forgotten.  It was the first attack on him when he became speaker though.

I slightly lean towards Newt too, but he definitely has that far overused cliche "baggage."

Robert Bennett

Oh, they're for sure anarchists Sisyphus (as is Alan Moore).  But if you remember this post, Claire had a while back, they've also targeted the Iranian government.  They're not all bad.

Robert Bennett

Whoever edits the music in at the end.  I appreciate you a lot.

"The magic suit isn't wearing any president"

Great line.  It reminds me of a satire piece I tried writing last year and put on Ricochet.
