Peggy is back on the Bush team. I'm sure she had a hand in that speech, especially the end. And was she the one that came up with "the soft bigotry of low expectations?" It was good to hear that one pulled out again.

I don't think Peggy came up with the soft bigotry line, because Bush has been using that for years, and I don't recall her leaving the newspaper and tv gigs in 2000. He definitely used that phrase then (maybe even here in Texas) because I've always liked it.

I too believe I heard Peggy in the "heart by heart" line, and elsewhere. It was the speech that he needed, and every bell is ringing.

The quote "soft bigotry of low expectations" is from the late New York Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan.

Nope, I believe that one was Mark Helprin's work; I think that's the guy's name. I believe he was also one who wrote the President's speech after 9/11 in the National Cathedral.
