My guess is being a rat speechwriter is easy....just spin anything and spin away.....Krfauthammer seems to me to be one of very good thought and while I do not know the man I would gather he had a conversion to truth over spin.

It's probably about Scully. I haven't read the book but I've read a couple of reviews (including WSJ) and his arguments are apparently pretty well-reasoned and based on religious beliefs. I don't think he's a PETAfile, but, as I say, I haven't read the book.

Unfortunately, he has MS and hence, the wheelchair which is much in evidence when he appears on Fox News.

Very few realise that he and Cavuto have MS. I am not going to speak for KR. or Cv. however I highly doubt his growth in thinking has anything to do with his condition.

Scandals are fine... except in Drudge's case they are sensationalized and then turn out to be false or duds...

I'm not typically a big Drudge follower so I don't know the answer to this: How often does he claim something is a worldwide exclusive?

Those who have happily never faced a life threatening or life-changing illness do not understand just how it affects how one views life.

Usually a few hours before his radio show.

It's about Drudge trying to get somebody, anybody, to tune in to his boring radio show.

Dr. Krauthammer does not have MS. He suffered a spinal injury at the age of 22, while in Med. School and completed his schooling from a wheelchair.

Is it just me or is about 75% of Drudges show just him playing bump music?

Listened a few times, but it just gets annoying.

CK may well have suffered a spinal injury in college, but I've read many times that he has MS. Of course, with the press we have today....

Here it is: David Frum, who coined the phrase axis of evil, has infuriated WH officials with his controversial new book, an insider account of the Bush White House.

See #36; you were right - it's Frum.

Every Sunday evening around this time he will claim a world exclusive. Obviously it is a way to get listeners to tune into his radio program. Honestly, I don't think any book will "muddle" the message, as most books are forgotten a couple weeks after their release. Even the real good ones.

Is this the "awful scandal" where a wife did some bragging about husband's speechwriting? Why would this even be a story...every president has speechwriters.

Could it be Karen Hughes? She wrote some of W's best speech lines. She still is an advisor to him, though she's down in Texas now.

Hope not!
