Karl Rove

Karl Rove has been described by respected author and columnist Michael Barone in US News & World Report as “unique...no Presidential appointee has ever had such a strong influence on politics and policy, and none is likely to do so again anytime soon.” A key member of the President’s inner circle, he has been called a master strategist whose “game has always been long term,” says columnist David Broder, “and he plays it with an intensity and attention to detail that few can match.” He was ranked #1 on both the Telegraph.co.uk’s List of the “50 Most Influential Political Pundits in America” and New York Magazine's “Most Popular Political Pundit Index.” As a Fox News contributor, Karl provides a “genuine feel of inside knowledge,” says David Zurawik, a television critic for The Baltimore Sun.

Dee Dee Myers

“Never take it personally, never lose your sense of humor,” was the motto by which Dee Dee Myers, the first woman and one of the youngest people to be White House Press Secretary, lived during her two years on the job. Working for President Bill Clinton at the start of his term, Ms. Myers had a front-row seat at some of the biggest events of the era, from the signing of the Mideast peace accords in 1993 to the passage of the president’s economic plan, international summit conferences and the controversies over healthcare and gays in the military. After leaving the White House, Ms. Myers was an original consultant to the NBC series, The West Wing, and contributed story lines and technical advice throughout its prizewinning long run. Armed with sharp political insights and a refreshingly irreverent sense of humor, Dee Dee Myers charms and enlightens audiences of every political persuasion with her insightful behind-the-scenes look at Washington, national politics and the major players in both. She is currently a Contributing Editor of Vanity Fair, and a frequent political commentator on NBC and MSNBC.
