...grew up in the 1960s and 70s, the Christmas television specials that were a December ritual of the Johnson and Nixon eras are comfort food. Seeing A Charlie Brown Christmas, The Little Drummer Boy, How the Grinch Stole Christmas and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (even if it does portray Santa Claus early on as a grouchy bigot) can raise as many childhood memories of the holiday as tinsel and peppermint. And so we buy the DVDs for our kids, ensuring another generation of royalties for the stop-motion animation team of Arthur Rankin Jr. and Jules Bass...

...Johnson's compulsive honesty that's more likely to torpedo his quest for high office. He says what he's thinking, even when it's shockingly, hilariously off-message. He recently incurred the wrath of Conservative colleagues by urging support for Hillary Clinton on the premise of Vote Hillary, Get Bill. He explains that he was trying to make a serious point about America's damaged standing in the world, adding: "Things come into my head that I find simply impossible not to say and then all sorts of chaos breaks out. But I think it's much better that...
