CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Former President Bill Clinton was responsible for writing his Wednesday speech at the Democratic National Convention, according to a story from U.S. News & World Report.
The story attributes the information to former Clinton speechwriter Michael Walden, who says the original speech was penned on an ordinary yellow notepad.
From the story:
Even after being loaded into the teleprompter, Clinton reintroduced some of the lines that had been edited out.
"Things that were written that were cut out, wound up being said anyway," Walden says. "I think he knows what he is doing."
Clinton also went completely off-script at times. The Atlantic posted a copy of the former president's speech as prepared, with his insertions in italics and highlighted, and his deletions struck out.
