HILLARY’S STAR APPEAL FADING
Published on FoxNews.com on March 29, 2007.
It’s now obvious that Hillary Clinton’s negatives are rising among American voters. A Harris Interactive survey says that a majority will not vote for her, and a Gallup poll this week finds her favorability among Democratic primary voters dropping from 82 percent in January, to 74 percent in March.

HOW TO SELL ANTI-SEMITES: THE LEGITIMIZATION OF DUBAI
Published in The New York Post on March 23, 2007.
The past few years have seen a concerted international PR campaign to promote Dubai as a tolerant new Mecca of Middle East moderation and amazing economic growth.
And it’s working. Corporate giant Halliburton is moving its headquarters there; the famed Louvre is opening a branch in the emirate. Tourists are flocking to Dubai’s luxury hotels.
THE PHONIEST SCANDAL OF THE CENTURY (SO FAR)
Published on TheHill.com on March 20, 2007.
When will the Bush administration grow some guts? Except for its resolute – read: stubborn – position on Iraq, the White House seems incapable of standing up for itself and battling for its point of view. The Democratic assault on the administration over the dismissal of United States attorneys is the most fabricated and phony of scandals, but the Bush people offer only craven apologies, half-hearted defenses, and concessions. Instead, they should stand up to the Democrats and defend the conduct of their own Justice Department.
RIGHT CANDIDATE BLOCKED BY ROMNEY, GINGRICH CORPSES
Published on TheHill.com on March 14, 2007.Â
The big problem in finding a conservative challenger to run for the GOP nomination is not the absence of a genuine constituency, nor is it even enthusiasm for ex-New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani. Right-wingers who would pass the litmus test — guys like former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, Kansas Sen. Sam Brownback, Colorado Rep. Tom Tancredo, California Rep. Duncan Hunter, former Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson, or even ex-Tennessee Sen. and famous actor Fred Thompson — face the need to climb over the political corpses of former Speaker New Gingrich (Ga.) and ex-Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney to make their case.
THE POLITICAL A TEAM FALTERS
Published on FoxNews.com on March 22, 2007.
They were supposed to be the A Team in American politics. The Clinton Machine that inspired fear and admiration throughout the political world.
They had guided Hillary through two successful Senate races in a state where she had never lived and helped her recover from scandals that nearly crippled her — the pardons, the White House gifts, the Peter Paul fundraiser.
They seemed invincible.

HILLARY’S EXPERIENCE – ASK BILL (HE DOESN’T REMEMBER IT)
Published on FoxNews.com on March 9, 2007.
Is Hillary Clinton the Walter Mitty of presidential candidates when she takes credit for the successes of her husband’s presidency?
Lately, she’s been repeatedly linking herself to Bill’s job creation, budget balancing, economic programs and domestic policies initiatives. There’s a lot of “Bill and I” and “we” in her speeches. It’s all part of the “bring back the Clinton years” theme that she rolls out to Democratic Party audiences.
But there’s more to it.
