Paging Rick Sanchez! The recently-canned CNNer could be perfectly placed to mediate the incipient feud between two media types who, as Sanchez might say, are "a lot like Jon Stewart" . . .
Mark Halperin has called Bill Kristol's theory that Rahm Emanuel's run for mayor of Chicago is a pretext to get him out of the White House "misguided, insane and absurd."
The Time editor and MSNBC analyst was reacting to a clip aired at the top of today's Morning Joe of Kristol expounding his notion. Halperin knew he was about to stir things up, rhetorically asking "is it too early for me to pick a major fight with Bill Kristol?" before plunging ahead.

MSNBC’s Halperin takes shot at Fox News’ Kristol. Ping to Today show list.
It was Rahm’s pretext to get out of the White House.

Something the White House might not miss was Emanuel’s penchant to dish to journalists and play the Washington access game. While most of the behind the scenes access dealing probably went on over the phone some journalists visited Emanuel at the White House.
These journalists include Jonathan Alter, Karen Tumulty, Noam Schieber, Fred Hiatt, Ryan Lizza, Ron Fournier, Candy Crowley, Tom Friedman, Susan Page, David Ignatius, David Wessel, Mark Halperin, Katty Kay and David Leonhardt.
I have always thought that it was so and didn’t even hear it from Kristol
So what authority did he quote for RE having said this before? That was Kristor’s point. Where did it appear in print back when?
What, is he hitting on Michelle while hussein is out trying to convert America to a socialist paradise? If so, we may have found something hussein is not in favor of redistributing...
I did Google it and the earliest reference I found was from this past spring:

Unlikely. unless you know something about Moosechelle.
Thanks for sharing the link - interesting read.
WH staffers met with lobbyists at Starbucks, so it wouldn’t surprise me if there were many more meetings w Journolists outside of the WH (e.g., coffee shops). Perhaps not by Rahmbo personally, but by 1 of his less publically known staff members. At any rate, according to this article, the visitor logs provided by the WH are “incomplete, vague, and useless”.

Me thinks he doth protest too much.
And entirely correct.
I agree. And now that he's gone this (non)residency issue will ultimately keep him from actually runnning for mayor. Clever guy.
