'Masters of Disaster'


Download audio (MP3)

If you're a New York governor who solicits call girls, or a Congressman who accidentally tweets a salacious photo to someone who isn't his wife, you might need help with damage control. That's what consultants Mark Fabiani and Christopher LeHane offer in their new book, "Masters of Disaster," which refers to the nickname they earned while serving as aides to the Clinton White House during the Whitewater and Monica Lewinsky years. Fabiani and LeHane discuss the secrets of political spin in politics, business and Hollywood.

Host: Dave Iverson

Guests:

  • Chris LeHane, Democratic consultant and partner at Fabiani and LeHane, and a former aide to the Clinton White House; and he counts among his company's clients: Goldman Sachs, Al Gore's Current TV, Madonna, the NHL and filmmaker Michael Moore
  • Mark Fabiani, political consultant and partner with Fabiani and LeHane, and former deputy campaign manager to Al Gore during the 2000 presidential campaign, special counsel to the Clinton White House, and counts Lance Armstrong and the San Diego Chargers among his clients
