McManus: The second-term scandal plague
What is it about presidents' second terms that makes them seem so scandal-ridden? Simple: The iron law of longevity. All governments make mistakes, and all governments try to hide those mistakes. But the longer an administration is in office, the more...Tags: Benghazi, Tea Party Movement, U.S. Congress, Christopher Stevens, U.S. Department of State

Our fruitless quest for missile defense
Foreign policy is often a form of theater, with elaborate rituals and pretenses that no one takes too literally. But rarely have the gimmicks of stagecraft been as obvious as in the latest standoff between North Korea and the United States. Lately, even...

Redacted truth, subjunctive outrage
WASHINGTON — Note to GOP re Benghazi: Stop calling it Watergate, Iran-Contra, bigger than both, etc. First, it might well be, but we don't know. History will judge. Second, overhyping will only diminish the importance of the scandal if it doesn't...

The unmasking of Paul Ryan and his budget

Obama's White House Creates Credibility Crisis
The Hartford CourantLet the facts speak for themselves. They are damning enough. Let Gregory Hicks, the honorable, apolitical second-in-command that night in Libya, movingly and grippingly demolish the president's Benghazi mantra that "every piece of information that we got,...Tags: Benghazi, Susan Rice, Unrest, Conflicts and War, Internal Revenue Service, Media Industry

McManus: Following Rove's muddy path

Blame game rages on over looming sequester

Hillary Clinton's dodgy testimony
A lot of people in Washington apparently forgot how good Hillary Clinton is at not telling the truth. Wednesday, in her testimony before both the Senate and, later, the House, Clinton brilliantly fudged, dodged and filibustered. Of course, she's a pro....
