Changing world poses test for chief Bush speechwriter - The Washington Times: Nation/Politics - June 25, 2004   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26) The Bush speechwriters have been working round-the-clock since the end of May, when they provided the president with soaring rhetoric for the dedication of the National World War II Memorial on the Mall.

Corpus Christi Caller Times Caller.com - Eloquent spirituality is signature of Bush speechwriter's work WASHINGTON - It is a man of faith - and nerves - who dares phrases like "an angel still rides in the whirlwind" to glide from presidential lips that more often speak a vocabulary all their own: subliminable, Hispanically, electrifly, proculation. "All serious speechwriters dread seeing their speeches delivered; it never matches the sound and the rhythm in your head," said Eli Attie, who was former Vice President Al Gore's chief wordsmith. That address at Warsaw University library was a collaborative effort by Gerson, former ambassador to Poland Dan Fried and John Gibson, speechwriter to Condoleezza Rice, the national security adviser. www.caller2.com /2001/july/22/today/national/5944.html   (964 words)

Joel C. Rosenberg: MIKE GERSON: PROFILE OF PRESIDENT BUSH'S CHIEF SPEECHWRITER I first had the privilege of meeting Mike Gerson when he was a speechwriter for Jack Kemp and I was a policy analyst for Kemp and Bill Bennett at Empower America back in the early 1990s. There is little doubt that it's true -- that's why presidents hire speechwriters -- and in any event, Bush isn't the first Republican politician Gerson has worked for who may have wondered if audiences would notice the obvious "eloquence gap" between his own impromptu self and the formal speaker armed with a Gerson-written script. For all the testimonials about Gerson's ability, presidential speechwriting is not, as author and former Bush speechwriter David Frum notes, "an exercise in writerly self-expression." It is a cooperative undertaking. joelrosenberg.blogspot.com /2005/05/mike-gerson-profile-of-president-bushs.html   (5336 words)
