The Spin Zone

By Karen Tumulty | January 1, 2008 | +

It’s been a while since I’ve been truly inside the bubble of a presidential campaign. As Hillary Clinton’s press plane (which is not the same thing as Hillary Clinton’s plane) touched down a few minutes ago in Sioux City, I was reminded of how hard the campaigns work in their efforts to leave as little as possible to subjective interpretation. Campaign spokesman Jay Carson took the microphone and gave us this guidance over the P/A system about the next event of the day at the Sioux City Art Center:

“You’re going to continue to hear a good, strong, confident candidate who feels the wind at her back.”

Got it.

Over at Firedoglake, Jane Hamsher has this tale of how things work in this regard. (H/T to commenter Jayackroyd for alerting us to this.)

Congressional Budget Office: Yeah Guys, Jumping Off the ‘Fiscal Cliff’ Is as Bad as It Sounds

Breaking up partisan budgetary knife-fights can be perilous business, so in its new report on a cluster of expiring tax breaks and scheduled spending cuts, the Congressional Budget Office, home to Capitol Hill’s weary fiscal referees, exercises restraint.

Iran Nuke Concession?

The New York Times is reporting that Iran may be about to open its Parchin military facility to international inspections. This is a biggish deal, but not a complete breakthrough. Parchin is where Iran may have been conducting experiments on weaponizing its nuclear fuel; there has been speculation that the facility housed a chamber to test nuclear triggering devices. No doubt, if the inspections are allowed at Parchin, there’s not going to be anything there to inspect. (Although if uranium was present in the past, it will be detectable.) This is part of a flurry of Iranian activity on the eve of the next round of nuclear talks in Baghdad tomorrow.
