Today's public figures

[Crabtownboy]

“Today's public figures can no longer write their own speeches or books, and there is some evidence that they can't read them either. ” .

That cant - too much fact checking to do .....

 

[Alcott]

Boy, who writes yours?

 

[ApollotheBrave]

Well, that really depends on which world leaders you are talking about. Also, political administrations are a group effort writing your own speech is very time-consuming especially for a leader who has to make fast decisions everyday. You know what, I just find this quote very ignorant when separated from it's context. Gore Vidal is a great writer.
