...G.O.P. has put up arguably less than token opposition to Johnson, who will face repeat candidate Catherine Davis. It was Davis whom McKinney beat in her last win for the 4th District in 2004, getting 64% of the general election vote then. But her overall erosion was showing, as McKinney squeaked by in that primary with 51% of the vote before winning big in the general election. "Davis is not considered a serious challenger," says Abramowitz. "She's a nice, sincere person. She is African-American but very conservative...
...Apologize to your public. Rinse. Repeat. "Our country doesn't like its celebrities to be hate-mongers," says Howard Rubenstein, who has handled publicity for clients like Naomi Campbell, Leona Helmsley (and TIME magazine).

I half expected to hear him repeat his famous words "Bring 'em on" in response to the recent attempts, however feeble, by Congress and the courts to rein in his power...
...Several things Rice and her associates said were evidence of growing frustration with Israel. She said she had urged the Israelis to exercise restraint in their attacks on Lebanon. Though she did make reference to Hizballah rockets hitting northern Israel, she did not repeat her usual line that the Israelis have the right to defend themselves. When asked where she would go or what she would do next to work for the ceasefire, she repeated again and again that she was staying in Jerusalem: ?My work today is here...
