The Hillary Doctrine

Gayle Tzemach Lemmon, Newsweek
Hillary Clinton seemed to be in a rare moment of repose while the Middle East erupted. She’d just returned from a surprise trip to Yemen and now sat for 30 minutes against a blue backdrop in the State Department’s Washington broadcast studio as reports streamed in of Libya’s violent crackdown on its own people.But Clinton was far from a passive observer.

The Madman Budget Strategy

E.J. Dionne, The New Republic
WASHINGTON -- Richard Nixon espoused what he called "the madman theory." It's a negotiating approach that induces the other side to believe you are capable of dangerously irrational actions and leads it to back down to avoid the wreckage your rage might let loose.House Republicans are pursuing their own madman theory in budget negotiations, with a clever twist: Speaker John Boehner is casting himself as the reasonable man fully prepared to reach a deal to avoid a government shutdown.

Pro-Walker Bus Tour Ends with a Whimper (Littlegreenfootballs.com)

A four-day Wisconsin bus tour paid for by the Koch Brothers and starring Joe the Plumber has fizzled to an end in Madison. > The rally, held in Exhibition Hall at the Alliant Energy Center, drew about 600 people, said Matt Seaholm, state director for the sponsoring group, Americans for Prosperity. The turnout was the largest on the 10-city tour, he said. > > Meanwhile, thousands of protesters once again surrounded the state Capitol to speak out against Walker's plan to curtail collective bargaining, though the gathering was considerably smaller than Saturday's rally of 30,000 or so.
