Some of the famous people supporting Jerry Brown’s runs for governor and president are never mentioned by name, they just show up in the background. And the Dead Kennedys’ California Über Alles is strategically placed on the soundtrack.

Jim Acosta stopped by The Late Show on Wednesday, where he discussed his recent clashes with the Trump administration and the president himself, who has dismissed the reporter's outlet, CNN, as "fake news" multiple times.
Acosta, the chief White House correspondent for the network, has been in headlines recently for challenging press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders to condemn Trump's comments that the press is the "enemy of the people" in a heated exchange. Acosta received some backlash due to the argument, with The Atlantic staff writer Todd Purdum calling his line of questioning "a dangerous brand of performance journalism....

On ABC's This Week, former DNC Chair Howard Dean noted a possible political gain for President Obama if Congress doesn't reach a deal on the fiscal cliff. "I believe...that if we go over the cliff, then the president has a lot more leverage." Vanity Fair National Editor Todd Purdum agreed with temporary host Jonathan Karl that it's "ultimately" the president's economy. "The tough issues are not being dealt with," he said.

What’s the matter with Washington? In a remarkably detailed and nuanced 10,000-word article, Vanity Fair national editor Todd Purdum attempts to answer that question. Using history as his backdrop, Purdum spends a day inside the West Wing and talks to Obama’s top aides, who tell him about the challenges of playing the Beltway game, ugly as it has become, even as their boss insists they find a way to transcend it. “There’s a relentlessness to this that’s unlike anything else, especially when you come into office in a time of crisis,” says Obama senior adviser David Axelrod. “We did not exactly ease into the tub. The world is so much smaller, and events reverberate much more quickly, and one person can create an event so quickly from one computer terminal.”...

On Tuesday, Vanity Fair joined forces with Hofstra University for a panel discussion, “Creating Images of the American Presidency: From Campaigns to the White House,” at the Peter S. Kalikow Center for the Study of the American Presidency, in Hempstead, NY. Before a packed crowd, the participants discussed everything from Ronald Reagan’s masterful photo ops to Barack Obama’s 11th-hour health-care comeback. On hand were Vanity Fair contributing editor Todd Purdum and illustrator Mark Summers along with political strategist Edward J. Rollins and Hofstra professor Lisa Merrill. At the centerpiece of the lively discussion was Vanity Fair’s new book Presidential Profiles: Defining Portraits, Deeds, and Misdeeds of 43 Notable Americans—And What Each One Really Thought About His Predecessor (Abrams Books).

Americans can’t get enough of Sarah Palin. It doesn’t matter which side of the Sarah Palin argument you’re on. Awe or apoplexy produces the same result: Give me more coverage of Sarah. The Times today follows my Vanity Fair colleague Todd Purdum with a meticulous documentation of Palin’s personal and professional dysfunction that should, reasonably, doom any political career. And yet, I dare say, that won’t be the effect of the Times’ investigation at all. Each Palin disaster, instead of spelling the end of her, sets the story up for a new chapter—even if it’s a new disaster. We’re no longer looking at Palin as principally a politician. We see her as the main character in a satisfying tale that over and over again confirms whatever it is we want to think about her. We certainly don’t want this story to end.

Mirror, mirror... There's a new N-word permeating our culture and it has nothing to do with racial epithets. The warm bath of public narcissism is getting as crowded as the rooftop hot tub at Sf's kink.com on a Friday night. Instead of luxuriating in it, or watching a few privileged porn performers sudsing up, we're all jammed in, flailing around and knocking into each other like the Three Stooges with ego bling. Sarah Palin suffers from "narcissistic personality disorder," testifies Todd Purdum in the latest Palintology obsession in this month's Vanity Fair. That magazine should know about the excesses of vanity since they reflect it lovingly in most of their cover stories. Mr. Purdum himself also said the same thing about Bill Clinton in an earlier profile. And how about John Edwards and Eliot Spitzer? Narcissists, right? Mark Sanford confessed to the psycho-crime...

Actress Gina Gershon's representative has slammed a new Vanity Fair article that suggests she had an affair with former U.S. president Bill Clinton.
The July issue of the magazine features a report by journalist Todd S. Purdum, in which he alludes to Clinton's infidelity following his recovery from heart surgery in 2004.
The article goes on to insinuate that Clinton made frequent stopovers in California to "visit" Gershon.
But the Face/Off star's spokesperson Mara Buxbaum has blasted the story and is demanding her client's name be removed from the piece.
She fumes: "Todd Purdum's insinuation is a lie and is irresponsible journalism. We are demanding a retraction."
Clinton has also responded to the allegations, branding Purdum "dishonest" and "slimy" for suggesting he has continued to cheat on his wife Senator Hillary Clinton, who is running for president in the November 2008 elections.
Clinton was caught having inappropriate relations with White House intern Monica Lewinsky in 1998, while he was still in office.
