Speech-Less

The author was one of President George W. Bush's top speechwriters from March 2007 to October 2008 and chief speechwriter to Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld for three years. This memoir is a humorous and candid take on life in Washington, DC, and the leaders of both major parties. The behind-the-scenes account boldly names the fools and scoundrels, and laments the principled conservatism that disappeared during the Bush presidency. Narrator Lincoln Hoppe portrays a dichotomy of political characters and projects the author's glib, sarcastic, and, at times, arrogant tone. B.C.E. (c) AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine
