Letters to the Editor

This letter is associated with the following article:
Karl Rove calls himself Moby Dick. One speechwriter sees himself as St. Francis. Another sees him as Iago. All regard Bush as Abraham Lincoln. In Washington, reality is a myth.
  • What memorable speeches ?

    While I am hardly a fan of George W Bush, I think it is fair to say that even he would hardly claim to be a spell-binding speechmaker. In trying to remember anything memorable he has said, all I can come up with is some quip about being "misunderestimated." If this is the legacy that Matthew Scully and Michael Gerson are fighting over, they needn't bother; it will be forgotten in approximately the time it takes to take the trash to the curb.
