Fascinating inside stuff. If I had to bet on which senior WH official would be the first to go, Fleischer would be up there I hope so, he's kind of creepy. Here's my choice: geocities.com Climber@hubbahubba.com

I thought the following was an interesting, sobering look at the WH press operation. If I had to bet on which senior WH official would be the first to go, Fleischer would be up there (along with O'Neill). Nice link. Thanks. As for my list, Fleischer is well ahead of all other candidates. But he may stick around. The genuinely worrisome part of his work is that he may be exactly what Bush wants. John

SNOOKERED BY BUSH newyorker.com [Elsewhere on the W watch, a week-old New Yorker thing. Sorkin apparently took some heat in the national press for his lack of veneration for W, but that seems to be semi-official policy these days. Trent Lott, Ari Fleischer, and the local warheads all seem united on that front too. Excerpt: ] A more accurate perspective, Sorkin suggested, can be seen in a forthcoming documentary by Alexandra Pelosi called "Journeys with George." "It's about life on Bush's campaign plane, and the White House is worried about it because it shows the President in an amateurish light." (In one scene, as members of the press mix Margaritas Bush wades into the throng, announcing that "it takes an animal to know an animal.") "And I just began reading Frank Bruni's campaign book," Sorkin continued, referring to the Times reporter's "Ambling Into History: The Unlikely Odyssey of George W. Bush," "which begins with Candidate Bush at a service in Texas for seven people who were killed in a church by a crazy gunman. Bruni describes Bush making goofy faces at the press, and it reminds you of a junior high schooler on a museum field trip."
