Lanny Davis Now Lobbying In Support Of Honduran Coup

Zachary Roth | July 14, 2009, 4:46PM

It seems like just yesterday that Lanny Davis was making the rounds of every news outlet that would have him, talking up Hillary Clinton's bid for the White House -- and/or pushing the Reverend Wright story.

Not too long after, the former Clinton White House counsel popped up to do damage control for hawkish Democratic congresswoman Jane Harman over the AIPAC leak story.

Harman Releases Media Statement On Media Advisor

We wondered yesterday whether Lanny Davis, who was just hired by Jane Harman as a "media advisor" to deal with the AIPAC flap, was behind her very aggressive effort to show that her sense of humor is intact.

Harman Hires Lanny Davis As Spin-Meister

Jane Harman has hired Lanny Davis as a "media adviser" to help her deal with the fallout from the AIPAC story, reports Laura Rozen at Foreign Policy.

Hiring Davis suggests Harman -- who embarked on a media blitz last week, without perfect success, in response to the affair -- isn't so worried about the perception that she's too close to the Israel lobby. Davis -- who was special counsel to President Clinton during the Lewinsky saga, and an indefatigable spinner for Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign -- has long been a supporter of AIPAC, and serves as an adviser and spokesman for the Israel Project, a hawkish, pro-Israel group. He also, for good measure, appears regularly on Fox News.
