(Marvin Joseph/The Washington Post)
Philippe Reines, the “Peter Pan of Hillaryland” and longtime spokesman for the secretary of state, is a “self-promoting” “loose cannon” who has nearly been fired many times but has managed to survive, writes our colleague Jason Horowitz, thanks to his knack for self-preservation and rabid loyalty to Clinton. (You may remember him for the gag gift of a “reset” button to the Russian foreign minister that went awry due to faulty translation.) Why read this long story? Because Philippe Reines
is Washington: a “dysfunctional family of politicos, operatives, staffers, reporters, TV bookers, media types, government officials and frosted society scenester. And he bears some of their less appealing traits: an addiction to background dish, media recognition and proximity to power.”
