The Speechwriters

Long and Lileks are away, but that's OK -- we're in extremely capable hands with guest hosts Troy Senik and Need To Know's Mona Charen. This week, we're joined by Senator Tom Cotton to discuss the Iran deal (or lack thereof). Then, the Weekly Standard's Andrew Ferguson stops by to discuss Hillary, Trump, and Buster (his dog). Andy's participation makes it an official quorum of White House speechwriters, so you can listen in and hear what an actual writer's room sounds like. Also, yes, we talk about Trump, chat about Natural Cathedrals, and close with another installment of Who's Dog Is Mas Macho? featuring Crusoe the French Poodle versus Beau the French Bulldog. Leave your vote below. Woof.
