Speech Writer: OK, Mr. Candidate, let's make a start on your apology speech. Candidate: Say something about my service in Vietnam. Writer: No, no, no - this is to apologize for your lying about being in Vietnam. Candidate: Lying? Oh, darn! Isn't there a nicer way to couch that? Writer: Nicer? Candidate: Well, yes - lying is such a bold-faced way of putting it... Writer: Well, these days the more fashionable thing is to claim you misspoke. Candidate: Misspoke! Oh, I like that! Writer: Good - I think John McCain was the first to come up with that. Candidate: John! Why, yes! Old John and I were in Vietnam together! Old crazy John, we called him. Well, well. My, my. Old John, yes. Writer: I'll start again. Candidate: This writing game is rather fun. Reminds me of when I was writing my Vietnam memoirs. Punk: This may take longer than you think.
