Being Dubya's speechwriter

Means that each speech on Social Security abolition requires a line like this:

[to South Carolina legislature] See, telling younger workers they have to save money in a 1930s retirement system is like telling them that they have to use a cell phone with a rotary dial.

To insurance convention in Washington DC: Offering young workers a 1930's-era retirement system is like trying to persuade them that vinyl LPs are better than iPods.

UPDATE: The Washington Post also makes note of the trend.
