http://politicalwire.com/archives/2009/09/15/talking_like_a_president.htmlTalking Like a President GQ runs a very funny excerpt from former Bush speechwriter Matt Latimer's new book, Speech Less: Tales of a White House Survivor. "In 2007 I finally made it to the Bush White House as a presidential speechwriter. But it was not at all what I envisioned. It was less like Aaron Sorkin's The West Wing and more like The Office." :rofl: GQ excerpt here: http://men.style.com/gq/features/landing?id=content_10957

2. On McCain "suspending his campaign" to "save the economy" |
|
McCain was going to phone the president and urge him to call off the address and instead hold an emergency economic summit in Washington. If the president did speak that night, the McCain campaign didn’t want him to outline any specific proposal.
Of course, this threw the proverbial monkey wrench into our plans—and at the eleventh hour. I overheard the president call McCain’s plan “a stunt.” Dana Perino said the negotiations were nearly over, and suddenly he was going to swoop in and muck things up? The president’s political adviser, Barry Jackson, was blunt, calling McCain a “stupid prick.”
