A DASCHLE OF CLINTON
br>
In a brief discussion recently with senior White House staff,
Senate Majority Leader
Tom Daschle
is said to have
suggested that if the Bush Administration were to bring former
President Clinton into Middle East negotiations or peace plan
consultations, Democrats on the Hill might be more open to pushing
through a number of administration nominations hung up in
committee.
/p>
“It’s [expletive deleted] ridiculous,” says a White House consultant. “But if he did make that kind of offer it shows just how weak we are on the Hill. It’s exactly the kind of thing Democrats would think of doing, if only to highlight just how badly things are going for Republicans.”
p> IT’S NOT OVER br> When news broke a few weeks back that Bill Clinton might launch a talk show of his own, his associates made a big deal of saying their boss is interested in becoming the “next” Oprah Winfrey . Now comes word from Chicago that Winfrey herself may be interested in helping the president out. /p>
