Color me crazy - but no-one speaks like the article suggests. People write dialogue they wish had taken place.
Sorry - not gonna buy it - wouldn’t be prudent;)
Good catch, but speech-writers - talk like that.
Also people who have obsessively watched every episode of the West Wing talk like that (which I don't doubt is also true of this insider).
Definitely second hand, phantom writing. No way this is a real person giving an interview. It’s collaboration of innuendo and rumor that have come out to the media or others, and this writer is putting it to dialog.
Is the information true? Probably. This president is good only at campaigning.
Agreed. It's all just too pat. The "insider" comes across like the pundit equivalent of that old Hollywood standby, the hooker with a heart of gold.
Yup, reads like a spy novel.
I’ve forgotten, what was the name of that reporter who wrote lengthy columns about places and people he claimed to have visited/interviewed, but he was making it all up?
No one speaks like that? Sure they do. Feel free to ignore the insider threads, plenty of others on FR. :)
