Controversy Over Former Bush Speechwriter

Controversy develops over former Bush speechwriter. World Exclusive. Developing. That's it for now on Drudge.

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.

maybe David Frumm is finally being put in a mental institution where he belongs

[clintonh8r]

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.

[alisasny]

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.

[marajade]

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

[Peach]

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?

[Slipjack]

Just a bunch of BULL till the letters are out on PAPER in dried ink.

[Peach]

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

[StriperSniper]

How often does he claim something is a worldwide exclusive?

Usually a few hours before his radio show.

;-)

[altura]

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

[jackbill]

Very few realise that he and Cavuto have MS.

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.

[Sabretooth]

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.

[Peach]

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....

[Peach]

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.

[Peach]

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.

[Mamzelle]

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.

[MinuteGal]

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!
