Dana Milbank’s ‘Fools On the Hill’ scheduled for 2024

By The Associated Press on February 2, 2023.

NEW YORK (AP) – Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank is planning a book on the House of Representatives, and it will not be flattering.

Little, Brown and Company announced Thursday that Milbank’s “Fools on the Hill” is scheduled for 2024, an election year. Milbank, whose previous books include “Smash Mouth: Two Years in the Gutter with Al Gore and George W. Bush” and “Homo Politicus: The Strange and Scary Tribes that Run Our Government,” said in a statement he had assigned himself the job “of covering all the twists and turns in the Republican-controlled House.”

Milbank cited as examples the dayslong effort to elect Kevin McCarthy House Speaker, “the most contentious speaker election in a century and a half,” and “the specter of a first-ever default on the national debt.”

Milbank, 54, joined the Post in 2000 and has been writing a column since 2005.
