Tim Russert is dead.
But the room was alive.
Big Ticket Washington Funerals can make such great networking opportunities. Power mourners keep stampeding down the red carpets of the Kennedy Center, handing out business cards, touching base. And there is no time to waste in a gold rush, even (or especially) at a solemn tribal event like this.
Washington—This Town—might be loathed from every corner of the nation, yet these are fun and busy days at this nexus of big politics, big money, big media, and big vanity. There are no Democrats and Republicans anymore in the nation’s capital, just millionaires. That is the grubby secret of the place in the twenty-first century. You will always have lunch in This Town again. No matter how many elections you lose, apologies you make, or scandals you endure.
In This Town, Mark Leibovich, chief national correspondent for The New York Times Magazine, presents a blistering, stunning—and often hysterically funny—examination of our ruling class’s incestuous “media industrial complex.” Through his eyes, we discover how the funeral for a beloved newsman becomes the social event of the year. How political reporters are fetishized for their ability to get their names into the predawn e-mail sent out by the city’s most powerful and puzzled-over journalist. How a disgraced Hill aide can overcome ignominy and maybe emerge with a more potent “brand” than many elected members of Congress. And how an administration bent on “changing Washington” can be sucked into the ways of This Town with the same ease with which Tea Party insurgents can, once elected, settle into it like a warm bath.
Outrageous, fascinating, and destined to win Leibovich a whole host of, er, new friends, This Town is must reading, whether you’re inside the Beltway—or just trying to get there.
Mark Leibovich is The New York Times Magazine chief national correspondent, based in Washington, D.C. In 2011, he received a National Magazine Award for his story on Politico's Mike Allen and the changing media culture of Washington. Prior to coming to the Times Magazine, Leibovich was a national political reporter in the Times' DC bureau. He has also worked at The Washington Post, The San Jose Mercury News and The Boston Phoenix, and is the author of The New Imperialists, a collection of profiles on technology pioneers. Leibovich lives with his family in Washington.
在華府生態圈,人的價值是由與其他人或機構的距離決定的。關係對於華府的重要性,就像芯片對矽榖、籌碼對拉斯維加斯一樣。

評分此書結語中直言不諱地承認:縱觀華盛頓的遊戲,最令人沮喪的結論是,權錢交易已經徹底地程序化,在這其間,媒體則極盡煽動之能事,成為權錢交易的有效潤滑!我想問,這是不是體製問題呢?
評分two parties are like rachel maddow and anderson cooper ,you know exactly what positions at which they stand but NOTHING is gonna happen
評分中文版《真實世界的紙牌屋》已齣版
在看这本书之前又重温了一下《纸牌屋》美剧。电视剧里面权色的交易,谋杀以及各种阴谋,让人不寒而栗。书中的内容似乎是没有硝烟的战场,没有那么丑陋与残忍的场面。更多是对于权利、名声、社会地位的觊觎。每个人都在华盛顿这座城市里面寻找自己的机会。但是,这一切并不是那...
評分这本书的中文版名字是《真实世界的纸牌屋》,作者是大报记者,讲述了华盛顿(This Town)的政治-媒体-游说集团的生态圈故事:大腕们是怎么get ahead的,怎么在pecking order上生存的,华盛顿的政治秀场是如何运作的……可能是之前同类题材较少的缘故,这本东鳞西爪,道听途说,...
評分凡是在华盛顿滞留过的,都会耳闻华盛顿的金科玉律,华盛顿有一座城(the town)和一个俱乐部(the club)。有一个私下市长,有一个俱乐部部长。Tim Russert是私下市长,Ben Bradlee是俱乐部部长。 Mark Leibovich的新书,《这座城,两个党派和一个葬礼》(this town)俨然已...
評分“对于那些想在全美范围内寻求自我价值、个人再造、出人头地的人而言,华盛顿是全美最受欢迎的三个城市之一。不管他们曾有过怎样的经历,或者说正是因为他们曾有过那样的经历,他们工作起来才非常投入。通常情况下,大家都在玩儿命地干。对我而言,这才是华盛顿故事里最精彩的...
評分那座城是美国的首都华盛顿。 那座城很热闹,也很冷漠。是政客们喜欢追逐的地盘,是新闻大享们发光发热引人注目的江湖之地。 真实世界无比残酷,像纸牌屋里的博弈,政客们的野心纷纷展现,竞选战争一碰即发,各种势力互相过招,各种人物嘴脸及其背后的交易不言自名,新闻人玩...
