Tapper: still a hack; Clinton: still smart	David Roberts	01 Feb 2008	Gristmill
Andy Revkin has a Dot Earth post today that reflects on Jake Tapper's hackery and, in my humble opinion, lets Tapper off way too easily. Look at this: For his part, Mr. Tapper posted a series of updates through Thursday clarifying his intent, saying he found Mr. Clinton's speech confusing and was posing questions more than offering criticisms. And his main point, he told me over the phone late last night, was to examine whether Mr. Clinton was portraying efforts ...

U.S. Mayors Climate Conference: Clinton II Working with cities to create markets for green products	David Roberts	04 Nov 2007	Gristmill
My first impression of Clinton was that he'd just woken up, or that he was under the weather. He had a little bedhead, his voice was a bit croaky, and he was speaking slowly. This definitely wasn't the virtuoso Clinton of the 1998 SOTU. The fireworks were mostly muted, though there were a few flashes here and there. Still, on his worst day Clinton is never less than engrossing. (photo: U.S. Mayors Conference) He began by laying out the main three challenges of the ...

Clinton Global Initiative: Bill and Al, reunited at least Bill Clinton kicks off annual meeting with big names and big aims	Brian Beutler	26 Sep 2007	Gristmill
I'm not sure when Al Gore and Bill Clinton were last in the same room together, let alone on a stage together, but they reunited publicly today at the start of the Clinton Global Initiative annual meeting. (And, to focus on the superficial for a moment, their handshake -- clumsy and brief, an afterthought really -- didn't look at all like the sort of handshake you might expect a former U.S. president and his erstwhile second-in-command to share.) Clinton introduced ...

License to Bill Clinton, late convert to climate-change cause, now preaching up a storm	Amanda Griscom Little	13 Dec 2004	Muckraker
He wasn't known as the eco-warrior president. Nor was he a visionary on energy independence. But Bill Clinton is now using his legendary charisma and silver tongue to help mobilize the shift away from fossil fuels. Bill gets heated up over climate. Photo: Clinton Presidential Foundation. "[T]he decisions we make or fail to make in this area may have a bigger impact on ...
