Time‘s Klein ‘Attacks’ Nation Publisher On Panel

By Dylan on June 23, 2006 7:57 AM

Nation editor and publisher Katrina vanden Heuvel‘s account:

I was on a panel this morning [June 20] about the 2006 elections with two consultants — Republican Ed Rollins and Democrat Doug Schoen — and Time magazine columnist Joe Klein. The conversation was fairly civil. After all, the early morning event at the tony Regency Hotel in midtown Manhattan was sponsored by The Common Good, a group dedicated to civil discourse on current affairs. So, I’m not sure why Joe Klein turned on me with such ferocity halfway through the panel, virtually grilling me like the drill sergeant he never was: “Do you even know what counterinsurgency is?”
