...obligatory first question to pass Sunday talk-show hosts' lips, but whenever it did, brother Jeb was there to field it with an appropriate verbal shrug. Yes, there were Democratic squawks from the likes of Bob Kerrey and Carl Levin, wondering why a man so audibly enamored of bipartisanship had been so quick to jerk a chin toward the Gore campaign as an orchestrator of the leak. But if the Republicans protested a little too much (Arlen Specter, we're looking at you and your post-election "hunch"), George W. still has the same slender edge in the national polls...
...number of former politicians currently serve as university presidents: former Sen. David Boren (D-Okla.) serves as president of the University of Oklahoma, and Sen. Robert Kerrey (D-Neb.) will move to the New School University in New York City when he completes his service this year...
...Peter Boyle, Paul Sorvino, Bianca Jagger, Joe Piscopo, Camryn Manheim, Mila Jovovich, Ray Liotta and half the cast of "The West Wing," who rushed over from the Warner Bros. set after taping their show.

...Kerrey and Gore would have to compose earlier differences - on Social Security reform, for example, and on that ugly business about some of Gore's people in New Hampshire supposedly kicking mud on Kerrey and calling him "a cripple." But in politics, antipathies may be temporary. Once in 1990 I sat in Senator Al Gore's office in Washington and asked him what he thought of Bill Clinton of Arkansas. Gore sneered: "Clinton hasn't got a clue." Kerrey, a lighter, funnier, and infinitely more authentic man than Gore - and a war hero, winner of the Congressional Medal of Honor...
