Description

John McCain recently said of the Republican Party: "We spent money like a drunken sailor. Although I never really knew a sailor, drunk or sober, with the imagination of my colleagues." Press, a progressive radio commentator, columnist and former chair of the California Democratic Party, believes that the Republicans have been governing exactly the way you expect: if a politician's most basic belief is that government always fails, why would anyone think he'd try to prove otherwise? Press will chronicle the rise and fall of the conservative movement over the past 60 years, from Robert Taft to George W. Bush.

Bill Press is one of the country's most well-known progressive commentators and resides right in Washington, DC. He is the host of Sirius Radio's syndicated Bill Press Show and writes a syndicated column for Tribune Media. He is articulate, educated, and extremely well-spoken. Press is the former host of CNN's Crossfire and Buchanan and Press.
