...Heller (Catch-22) to top this one: "Pursuant to the Designation of the Palestine Information Office as a Foreign Mission, the Department of State has determined that the Palestine Information Office shall be required to cease operation as a foreign mission." Then the Government ordered the office's electricity cut off, its phone disconnected and its landlord to bar staff members entry except to remove personal effects...
Hoping to save the U.N. mission, which State believes the U.S. is required to tolerate as the U.N.'s host country, the State Department threw the Washington office to the wolves. But in December Congress cut through all the legal technicalities about what is and is not a foreign mission and simply banned both offices outright. They went down in a spray of self-congratulatory press releases: KEMP DECLARES A VICTORY IN WAR ON TERRORISM, GRASSLEY WINS IN FIGHT AGAINST P.L.O., and so on.

"If the media hound Kennedy over that tragic accident 19 years ago, they might well help him rather than hurt him -- and also help land themselves in the political doghouse...
Indeed, his critics dub him a master of the flip-flop, accusing him of committing the deadliest sin of American politics. As a House member he supported an array of measures that he now repudiates: the 1981 Reagan tax cut, the MX missile, an antiabortion amendment and a freeze in Social Security benefits. But Gephardt is unruffled by the charges of hypocrisy: "All great political leaders have changed their minds in response to changing circumstances. It's silly to be rigid on things when circumstances change...
