Ken Vogel points out a story
with some meaning for the U.S.-U.K. relationship: Anita Dunn, the
former communications director who's still a member of the White
House's kitchen cabinet, is advising Tory leader David Cameron.
Dunn isn't on staff, and there's no formal conflict-of-interest
question. But as Obama pollster Joel Benenson (who works for Gordon
Brown) told me and Vogel
last year, consultants that close to the White House are extremely
"careful" about who they work for, both to be sure clients don't tout
them as semi-official U.S. backing, and to be sure they don't get
entangled with anyone who would cut against Obama's values or American
interests.
