Just got an email a little while ago from Newt.org indicating that the former Speaker will be a guest on Meet the Press this Sunday. He’s scheduled to debate Senator (and Democratic presidential hopeful) Chris Dodd about Iraq (you may have seen a Dodd ad airing recently on cable news channels touting his get out […]
As someone who’s earned a living writing speeches for politicians, I was particularly excited to read the book Words That Work: It’s Not What You Say, It’s What People Hear written by Frank Luntz and published by Hyperion earlier this year.
