  • Noemie Emery: One day in March revives a party

    Noemie Emery

    Published: Tue, Mar 12, 2013

    Weeks from now we may realize that it was between noon and midnight on Wednesday, March 6 -- when Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., began to wind down his impromptu digression -- that the Republicans' ship finally righted itself in the water and turned around. By then, Paul had been talking for more than...

  • Noemie Emery: Conservative crisis management

    Noemie Emery

    Published: Tue, Mar 5, 2013

    When in a hole, keep right on digging. That's the attitude of a number of movement conservatives, who, in reaction to last year's shellacking, seem to want to make certain they never climb out. The plan, should there be one, seems to come in three parts: First, whine, lament and rend garments...

  • Noemie Emery: A story of three political families

    Noemie Emery

    Published: Tue, Feb 26, 2013

    In 1953, Albert Gore Sr., John Kennedy and Prescott Bush all entered the Senate together. The repercussions are still being felt 60 years later, as George Prescott Bush revs up for his first run for office in Texas, and the fourth man to be christened Joseph P. Kennedy begins his first term in...

  • Noemie Emery: Racism math doesn't add up

    Noemie Emery

    Published: Tue, Feb 19, 2013

    Sam Tanenhaus has a great sense of humor. Four years ago, he came out with a piece about the demise of the conservative movement, which at the time -- with Obama elected by a 7-point margin, supermajorities in the House and the Senate -- didn't seem that unlikely. The problem was that by the...

  • Noemie Emery: Mutually assured stupidity

    Noemie Emery

    Published: Tue, Feb 12, 2013

    Perhaps in an outbreak of Chuck Hagel envy, parts of the Republican world have taken a crash course in dimness, or perhaps mutually assured self-destruction, crafting new ploys to damage their interests, in fresh and inventive new ways. Former Bush aide Karl Rove and Republican donors form a...

  • Noemie Emery: A life in the theater

    Noemie Emery

    Published: Tue, Feb 5, 2013

    A great stage career went into hiatus Friday, when Hillary Clinton left her foreign policy gig for an undisclosed future, not telling where that future would take her or if there would be one at all. In her life on the stage, she has had a career framed by two episodes of "60 Minutes" that...

  • Noemie Emery: Obama the transformer? Not really

    Noemie Emery

    Updated: Mon, Jan 28, 2013

    Flush with success that's less than they think it, Obama's fans once again call him a transformational figure, up in a class with Reagan and Roosevelt -- one of the singular figures who turns things around. Well, he is trying, but it may not work out as planned. For it all to work out, three...

  • Noemie Emery: Mount Rushmore on hold

    Noemie Emery

    Published: Tue, Jan 22, 2013

    Barack Obama, who in 2009 was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for having done nothing, is now called a great man by some of his backers for having done not too much more. He was re-elected, but by millions of votes fewer than the last time -- the first time a president won re-election while...

  • Noemie Emery: Diversion from facts

    Noemie Emery

    Published: Tue, Jan 15, 2013

    Around midday on Jan. 8 or thereabouts, the diversity quotient in the president's circle exceeded its level of permissible maleness, stoking a clamor for "binders of women" to bring it back under control. Or perhaps we should say "maleness and whiteness," as, along with estrogen, melanin also...

  • Noemie Emery: Note to GOP: Join, or die

    Noemie Emery

    Published: Tue, Jan 8, 2013

    Charges are flying that Obama is stoking an internal war among the Republicans, trying to get them to savage each other. And because he's in politics, this theory rings true. But then, why have Republicans done so much to help him, shredding each other with unseemly gusto, before he has even...
