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

[Peach]

Anybody have any ideas what this will be about?

[newfreep]

Didn't David Frum leave a few months ago?

[Unknown Freeper]

It must be Sunday afternoon. Time for a siren.

[Senator Pardek]

Which Bush?

I'd say Matalin is controversial.

[Peach]

Matalin worked for Cheney though and I don't think she was a speechwriter. Was the guy who left a month or so ago and quoted as saying "it's the most political White House" he'd ever seen a speechwriter? Just don't know. Stay tuned.

[Peach]

I hadn't heard about Frum; just don't know.

>Controversy Over Former Bush Speechwriter

I hope it's not this.
I'm really getting worn out
by PETA prattle:

Former Bush speechwriter dons animal-activist cloak

[gg188]

Matthew Scully---now an "animal rights advocate."

...chief speechwriter Michael Gerson, a Christian fundamentalist...

David Frum?

Who will it be?

[Senator Pardek]

My bad - I thought she wrote for elder Bush - but it was her lovely husband who wrote for Scumbag.

[Peach]

Yes her lovely husband who now graces Crossfire and screams so much I can no longer watch the show, regardless of the occasional great guest.

[alisasny]

and we are supposed to care about this and why?......Um little Chrissy Matthews..wasnt he a Carter speechwriter..and Krauthammer, a Mondale speechwriter////HUMMMMMM

[Peach]

Hope it's not the guy mentioned in the link. Sounds like a decent sort if rather misguided; let's hope to sell the book he hasn't said President Bush actually beats his dogs! LOL. I would have thought writing for President Bush as a senior speechwriter was far more important and interesting than writing the book about animals. He was a good speechmaker if some of President Bush's speeches around 9/11 are any indication.

[Peach]

I'm rather interested in scandals as they affect our president; want to get the jump on my liberal friends to figure out the real deal rather than listen to the crap espoused on television by the so-called journalists.

[alisasny]

I have read it many times so I believe it to be true.

[alisasny]

Charles Krauthammer, who was born in New York and raised in Montreal, won the 1987 Pulitzer Prize for distinguished commentary. His Washington Post column is syndiated to 100 newspapers. He attended McGill University, Oxford and Harvard, where he was given his medical degree in 1975. He practiced medicine for three years as a resident and then chief resident in psychiatry at Massachusetts General Hospital. In 1978, he quit medical practice, came to Washington to direct planning in psychiatric research for the Carter administration, and began contributing articles to The New Republic. During the presidential campaign of 1980, he served as a speechwriter to Vice President Walter Mondale. He joined The New Republic as a writer and editor in 1980. He lives in suburban Washington with his wife, Robyn, an artist, and their son.
