Uh oh! Via Jason Zengerle and Mike Allen:
George STEPHANOPOULOS, on GMA, re the president-elect and the economy: “He’s already doing more than any incoming president has ever done this quickly … One Obama adviser told me what they’d like is a combination of ‘Team of Rivals’ and ‘The Best and the Brightest,’ which was the David Halberstam book about the incumbent Kennedy administration.
Maybe Obama ought to talk that idea over with Halberstam. I don’t recall that book as having had a happy ending.
UPDATE: I’d forgotten, but Halberstam passed away last year.
