Carly Fiorina was once the CEO of Hewlett-Packard. These days, she’s working for John McCain, as another CEO—Roger L. Simon of Pajamas Media—discovers. And host Bill Bradley on the little-discussed speech that McCain’s presumptive opponent quietly gave in Philadelphia this week. Plus:

  • Jonah Goldberg of National Review Online explains how, as he puts it, Valerie Bertinelli’s “lesbian kisses and diet tips” knocked his book Liberal Fascism from atop the NYT Best-Seller List!
  • James Lileks test drives his Reverend Jeremiah Wright impersonation. (Don’t try this at home, kids.)
  • Michael Barone says the decade’s Red and Blue State maps will be thrown out the window in November.
  • Produced by Ed Driscoll.



  • For extended versions of the interviews featured on the show, don’t miss this week’s PJM Political “Director’s Cut Interviews.”
