We just received a press release from the Washington National Cathedral announcing that Rahm Emanuel and his Bush-era counterpart Joshua Bolten will appear together next month for a panel titled “Governing Across The Divide,” to be moderated by CBS’ Bob Schieffer.
Hand-wringing about the purported collapse of the center in American politics is a cottage industry in Washington so no surprise here. But inviting Rahm to a panel on “how civility and cooperation might return to the discourse,” as the press release puts it? What’s next in the cathedral’s line-up: Richard Daley on “Good Government in The Big City”?
Ed. Note: “Governing Across The Divide” is apparently not a reference to the Anglican schism over homosexuality.
