Dana Timothy Milbank (born 27 April 1968) is an American political reporter and columnist for The Washington Post. He is a graduate of Yale University, where he was a member of Trumbull College, the Progressive Party of the Yale Political Union. He is a graduate of Sanford H. Calhoun High School in Merrick, New York. He has been married since 1993 to Dona Lynn DePasquale. Milbank covered the 2000 US Presidential election and the 2004 US Presidential election. He also covered US President George W. Bush's first term in office. After Bush won the 2000 election, Karl Rove asked the Washington Post not to assign Milbank to cover White House news. In 2001, a pool report penned by Milbank which covered a Bush visit to the US Capitol generated controversy within conservative circles. According to Milbank, the nickname given to him by the president is "not printable in a family publication." Milbank writes "Washington Sketch" for the Post, an observational column about political theater in the White House, Congress, and elsewhere in the capital. Before coming to the Post as a political writer in 2000, he covered the Clinton White House for The New Republic and Congress for The Wall Street Journal. Milbank is the author of Smash Mouth: Two Years in the Gutter with Al Gore and George W. Bush—Notes from the 2000 Campaign Trail. A new book, Homo Politicus: The Strange and Scary Tribes that Run Our Government, was published by Random House in January 2008 October 5, 2010, Doubleday released Milbank's polemic biography of right-wing pundit Glenn Beck: Tears of a Clown: Glenn Beck and the Tea Bagging of America, which a review in the Washington Post said was a "droll, take-no-prisoners account of the nation's most audacious conspiracy-spinner."
