Republican governor Mike Huckabee of Arkansas says Hillary Clinton will be tough for Republicans to defeat in 2008.

PQ: 'But one thing: What are records?' I wanted an afternoon of bonding with my 11-year-old son, but I also wanted an afternoon-so, in a fit of inspiration, I figured that he and one of his friends were finally old enough to cruise the Lower East Side with me (we live Read MoreThere were more than bagels for us to nosh on at our (Azi's) first Jewish Community Relations Council Congressional Breakfast yesterday. Anthony Weiner looked right at home at the 92nd Street Y as he gave a power handshake to JCRC's Chairman of Government Relations, Richard Stone. Anthony then blended mayoral politics and Read More
John Kerry got in touch the other day.
It's always nice to hear from a chum of 30 years ago, and considering how busy he's been with the campaign, taking time out to write seemed awfully thoughtful. Especially with what's been appearing in this space. Bubbling with anticipation, I ripped open the envelope. If you checked Read MoreI'm sure that everyone who sees the new revival of Big River won't forget a certain staggering moment that deserves to go down in theater history.
Roger Miller's folksy 1985 Broadway musical, based on Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn , had its critics the first time round (myself included), though it won a Read More"The frenetic pace of modern life can lead to an obscuring or even a loss of what is truly human. Perhaps more than in other periods of history, our time is in need of that genius which belongs to women, and which can ensure sensitivity for human beings in every circumstance."
Those words were spoken in Read MoreHere's the fellow I'd like to meet in a dark alley-me all armed to the teeth and him woozy from drink, weak at the knees and ready to plead for his life. He is the legislator from Arizona who said, "Friends of Liberty, we have to stop this damned federal plan to assure that poor Read More
Now that I have added being fiftysomething to my list of dubious achievements, I am discovering a previously unnoticed tendency towards pondering. I certainly don't remember this activity from my 20's or, for that matter, the succeeding years. When I look back -an essential part of the ponder-it all seems to be a blur of Read More
The Hunting of the President: The 10-Year Campaign to Destroy Bill and Hillary Clinton , by Joe Conason and Gene Lyons. St. Martin's Press, 413 pages, $25.95.
"You boys have to remember, I don't give a fuck who the governor of Arkansas is," Lee Atwater said back in 1989, echoing the sentiments of a nation. But Read MoreI haven't done a lot of pronouncing upon political issues in this column (although I want to point out, in case anyone's forgotten, I wrote a column attacking Republican Party pandering over the loathsome Confederate flag during the South Carolina primary four years ago [March 18, 1996]).
In part, I try to avoid pontificating because Read MoreAside from at least three books by President Clinton's former lovers, none of the many volumes on the Clinton scandals has been written by women, and that fact alone makes Gail Sheehy's new book, Hillary's Choice (Random House, 416 pages, $24), welcome. The writer spent quality time with Hillary Rodham Clinton in 1992, on assignment Read More
A famous man once said, "The definition of insanity is to keep doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting a different result." Such repetitive looniness is what makes characters like Elmer Fudd, Wile E. Coyote and Yosemite Sam so funny as they scramble around the cartoon landscape, stumbling quite predictably into the Read More
