Outgoing White House communications chief Anita Dunn is continuing her attacks on Fox News, taking them to "The Daily Show."
Indeed, she has escalated those attacks, by assuring Jon Stewart that the White House was fully apprized of her actions: “I am not a person who is known for going rogue.” To which the White House must be thinking, "Thanks a lot, Anita. You just threw all of us under the bus." That is, Dunn wants the world to know that she was just following orders when she put the hit on Fox, or at least was part of a consensus within the West Wing. But now, Dunn is leaving, while her White House colleagues are left holding the bag for a disastrous media offensive that blew up in the Obamans' collective face.
It will be interesting to see what Dunn does next. I know that the spin is that she wants to spend more time with her family, but it looks more like she was invited to leave, a month ahead of the announced schedule. Don't be surprised if she goes on tour, taking her media-bashing act on the road.
