Questions for Benjamin Kirby on the Clinton administration's economic team

Blogger Benjamin Kirby held several positions in the Clinton administration. I cover economics and probably the only person on the planet interested in Clinton economic team gossip. I am going to field some questions and hopefully Kirby will write a response blog post. Consider my blog the TMZ.com of economics blogging. It is a void that needs to be filled.

Did a black cloud follow Larry Summers when he walked down the halls of the West Wing?

Did Summers' assistant Brad Delong mumble the word NAFTA repeatedly.

What was the working relationship between Robert Rubin and Joseph Stiglitz like?

Was there anyone in the White House who didn't know that Summers and Stiglitz hated each other?

Did Summers openly express frustration for having to take marching orders from Stiglitz

How many times a day did Jason Furman try to kiss Rubin's and Stiglitz's asses.

Did anyone on the economic team ever dare to disagree with Lloyd Bentsen? This question is rhetorical. I already know no one in the White House fucked with Bentson.

Did members of the economic team crack jokes about Al Gore's proposal to tax cow flatulence?

Did Rubin and Stiglitz force junior economic staffers to go to Gore's reinventing government meetings so they wouldn't have to go?

Did Gene Sperling support the repeal of the Glass-Stegall Act? If so then how did he square that with his liberal ideals?

Did Rubin support a third veto of welfare reform for policy or partisan reasons?

Did Gore and Mickey Kantor openly fight on environmental regulation?

Did Clinton chew Mickey Kantor out for the political backlash on the left from signing NAFTA into law?

Was Mickey Kantor one of the stupidest people you ever met?
