Who is "The Hack," and what is his involvement with Reagan and Peggy Noonan? Thanks to anyone who knows.

As the article says, "the Hack" and "the haircut guy" are two of Peggy and Ben Elliott's lesser colleagues in the White House speechwriting office, whose names Peg very charitably changed to protect the guilty.

I don't know who "The Hack" is but Peggy sure nailed him with this tried and true zinger:

"No, you'd have to be literate to do that," I pointed out."

Go Peggy!!!! <|:-)~~

My guess, and as you see, I underlined "guess," is Dana Rohrabacher, congressman from California. He wrote speeches for Reagan when Noonan did.

Some people call Colonel David Hackworth "Hack".
He is the one who got the Abu Ghiraib prison photos on CBS, always says he's looking out for his soldiers.

There was a Tony Dolan and a Ken Khachigian who were Reagan speechwriters. Other than Peggy Noonan, Ben Elliot, and Peter Robinson, that's all I can find.
