Ragan CEO Mark Ragan sits down with JFK advisor and speechwriter Ted Sorensen to get his thoughts on the current state of political speechwriting and the craft of speechwriting.
Ted may have been the best speechwriter ever. May he rest in peace. One minor gaffe though. I am not aware that either Jefferson or Hamilton had anything to do with Washington's Inaugural Address which was not all that memorable. His far better known Farewell Address was based on remarks originally prepared for him by Madison and later revised by Hamilton.
