Bhutto’s back

The New Neo Posted on October 18, 2007 by neoOctober 30, 2007

After eight years of exile, Benazir Bhutto has returned to Pakistan in a deal brokered with President Musharraf. She’s talking the democracy talk as she walks the comeback walk: “Restoration of democracy is the only guarantee to the people’s progress … Continue reading →

RIP Claudia Taylor Johnson, aka Lady Bird

The New Neo Posted on July 11, 2007 by neoSeptember 26, 2007

Lady Bird Johnson has died at the age of 94. I’ve referred to her by her given name in the title of this post, not just because I always thought her nickname silly, but because she did: Lady Bird Johnson … Continue reading →

On the couch with Tenet: “This was personal”

The New Neo Posted on April 30, 2007 by neoSeptember 23, 2007

George Tenet has written a tell-all book, another example of the talk show mentality that has pervaded this country in recent years. Correct me if I’m wrong (I know you will!), but I don’t recall that it used to be … Continue reading →

Oh Rudy, Rudy, Rudy: Giuliani and LaGuardia

The New Neo Posted on February 7, 2007 by neoSeptember 23, 2007

Giuliani’s no Cary Grant (who, by the way, did not actually say “Judy, Judy, Judy“in any movie). But nevertheless, to an electorate starved for somebody to love, he’s got a certain rough charm. John Podhoretz thinks (hat tip: Pajamas Media) … Continue reading →

Churchill as orator: I Can Hear It Now

The New Neo Posted on January 27, 2007 by neoSeptember 23, 2007

I got an email the other day asking me why I think Churchill’s speeches are more remembered and quoted than FDR’s. The answer isn’t immediately apparent. After all, both of them were incomparably better than most politicians today at public … Continue reading →

Nyamko Sabuni: an Afro-Swedish breath of fresh air

The New Neo Posted on January 13, 2007 by neoFebruary 15, 2008

Who’s Nyamko Sabuni? She’s the new Swedish Minister for Integration and Gender Equality. Sounds awfully PC, doesn’t it? But Sabuni is anything but. In fact, she’s already raised a storm of controversy in Sweden with her statements on the subject … Continue reading →

Now, here’s a Democrat who makes sense

The New Neo Posted on January 9, 2007 by neoJuly 25, 2009

I like Joe Donnelly’s style. Who’s Joe Donnelly? A very freshman US Congressman from Indiana, one of the Blue Dog Democrats (in fact, being a freshman, Donnelly might better be called a “blue pup”–and no, I didn’t make the term … Continue reading →

Tet, Cronkite, opinion journalism, and a changing press: Part II (changing the course of history)

The New Neo Posted on December 20, 2006 by neoMarch 10, 2014

[Part I here.] In his introduction to that Cronkite interview featured in Part I, Dick Gordon writes: It was February 1968, and in a three minute editorial essay on the CBS Evening news Cronkite quite simply changed the course of … Continue reading →

Tet, Cronkite, opinion journalism, and a changing press: Part I (“to tell a conflicted people a higher truth”)

The New Neo Posted on December 18, 2006 by neoMay 3, 2009

While Bush formulates a new plan for Iraq, and others say all is lost there no matter what, I’m reminded of a famous “all is lost” moment from that ever-festering sore of history, the Vietnam War: Walter Cronkite’s editorial on … Continue reading →

Fallaci goes a few rounds with Khomeini

The New Neo Posted on September 16, 2006 by neoJuly 25, 2009

In honor of Oriana Fallaci, the fearless and uniquely outspoken correspondent who died yesterday in Florence Italy, I’m posting excerpts from her 1979 interview with Ayatollah Khomeini, which occurred not long after he came to power (these quotes appeared as … Continue reading →

RIP, Oriana

The New Neo Posted on September 15, 2006 by neoJuly 25, 2009

The utterly unique and seemingly fearless Oriana Fallaci has died. Charismatic, beautiful, outspoken, iconoclastic, articulate, fiery, controversial, in recent years Fallaci had been battling cancer, but she continued speaking out against Islam’s violent incursions into Europe. Fallaci never was one … Continue reading →

Assignment 9/11: Glenn Wilkinson, firefighter, father

The New Neo Posted on September 11, 2006 by neoJuly 25, 2009

I signed up with the 2996 Project, a tribute to the victims of 9/11. The idea was to get 2996 bloggers to volunteer, and to have each write a post devoted to one person who was killed by Islamist totalitarian … Continue reading →
