With @GOPLeader Eric Cantor upset, House loses one of its best Republican thinkers & reformers. Sad loss for party.

David Gergen: adviser to presidents and walker with kings
Pamela Harrington, roundheel to the rich and famous, used to have Democratic "policy" gatherings at her Georgetown manse. The unctuous flattering and kowtowing was reported to run so deep you needed hip boots.
The GOP, and especially Young Republicans, are much worse though (as befits courtiers).
Gergen spoke at one of my sons' college commencement a few years ago. Worst commencement speaker I ever heard. Boring as hell, uninspirational, with an subtextual feeling of "Can't believe I came to this cowtown. When do I get my check?" David Gergen--the David Brooks of politics.

ReplyDeleteThe very sad thing about this is that Gergen was likely not drunk when he wrote it.
ReplyDeleteAnd therefore has no ready apology for it.
