I’m rushing out the door and haven’t had time to get through all of it yet, but something tells me people are going to be talking about former Bush speechwriter Matthew Scully’s new article in the Atlantic, not yet available online, attacking his former colleague Michael Gerson. Sample line: Describing Gerson’s knack for talking to reporters and making sure a Gerson-friendly version of events made it into the papers, Scully writes, “It was always like this, working with Mike. No good deed went unreported, and many things that never happened were reported as fact.” Another line: Accusing Gerson of taking individual credit for group speechwriting efforts, Scully writes, “For all of Mike’s moralizing on grander matters, he just never understood that a modest round of merited applause is worth far more than a standing ovation undeserved.” And finally, on Gerson’s credit-taking: “The worst of my former colleague’s conduct was not mere vanity, however. It was not even the pettiness and selfishness, or the casual treatment of the trust of friends. The real offense was to the president.”
