...administration dismisses criticisms as partisan, but they miss the point. Had KSG’s administration wished to invite a token Republican to prove its liberal reputation is undeserved, it could have selected someone who truly exemplifies a lifetime in service or outstanding leadership. People like Sen. John McCain, Loeb Professor Emeritus Archibald Cox, former senator and former KSG professor Alan K. Simpson or Sen.

Poor Gephardt: put a microphone in front of him and he sounds like he's trying to climb the down escalator. He also has the coloring and demeanor of macaroni and cheese. Recently, he compared himself to a pair of old sneakers. This, believe it or not, is a strategy. In fact, it's probably a pretty smart strategy: Gephardt is attempting to fuse the two qualities that will be the most important in the coming presidential...
