...long innings and was a factor in Washington for nearly 50 years, first as a reporter for the Chicago Sun-Times and then as a columnist with Rowland Evans. When Evans died, he carried on alone. He was a pioneer in the pundit business, inventing Capital Gang on CNN, which spawned plenty of copycats. He could be a grouch on camera, but in private he was far kinder than his television persona. He was also the hardest-working man in show biz, just in terms of output - columns, newsletters and TV shows. Nearly every day of the past year...

In Polk County, an initial rush of requests tapered off by the week's end. There have been scattered...
...hard time scoring points against the popular President, would like nothing better than for the Dems to overreach in their pursuit of Bush staffers. "Now that the door's open, I say, bring it on, let's have a big national debate on this," William Kristol, a conservative pundit, said on Fox News Sunday. "Let's have Dick Cheney debate anyone the left wants to produce about whether we were responsible, about whether this was a dark chapter in our history, something that we should be ashamed of or whether the U.S. government behaved in a very fine...
