One of the most influential political observers in the country, Charles Krauthammer challenges conventional wisdom with practically every word he writes. No matter what the issue, from the economy, bioethics, the Middle East or today’s political headlines, Krauthammer’s insightful commentary cuts through the clutter created by plebeian thinking with an entirely fresh viewpoint. An unapologetic conservative, Krauthammer does more than comment on the issues and policies of the day; he helps shape public–and private–discourse about them. Intellectually fearless, when Krauthammer enters the discussion it takes on a new shape, and he shares with audiences the influential impact his views have on national and world events. Krauthammer earned an MD from Harvard Medical School, and practiced medicine before becoming a speechwriter for Vice President Walter Mondale, and later joined The New Republic as a writer and editor. He writes a nationally syndicated column for The Washington Post and contributes to several other publications, including The Weekly Standard and The New Republic. Read more…
