Who writes Bushes speeches?
I really wonder. It's obvious he never wrote one himself. He always takes his time to decypher the notes. So who is really responsible?

1. He has a whole staff of speechifyers
but I'm betting Karen Hughes does the final edit.

11. I don't know but I'd like to know ...
who wrote his stem cell speech a couple of years ago. It was his most coherent and well reasoned ever. I didn't agree with all of it, but I remember it was quite memorable.
