ative intervention and nation building around the world to effect the spread of democracy to third world countries 6 in 2018 gerson and commentator amy holmes co hosted in principle a politically conservative oriented television talk show that ran for eight episodes on pbs 7 8 early life and education edit gerson was born on may 15 1964 in belmar new jersey 9 and raised in an evangelical christian family 10 in st louis missouri he attended westminster christian academy for high school his paternal grandfather was jewish 10 he attended georgetown university for a year and then transferred to wheaton college in illinois graduating in 1986 11 career edit dan bartlett brett kavanaugh condoleezza rice and gerson review president george w bush s state of the union speech in 2004 before joining the bush administration he was a senior policy advisor with the heritage foundation a conservative public policy research institution 12 he also worked at various times as an aide to indiana senator dan coats and a speechwriter for the presidential campaign of bob dole before briefly leaving the political world to cover it as a journalist for u s news world report 13 gerson also worked at one point as a ghostwriter for charles colson 14 in early 1999 karl rove recruited gerson for the bush campaign 15 gerson was named by time as one of the 25 most influential evangelicals in america the february 7 2005 issue listed gerson as the ninth most influential evangelical that year 12 speechwriter edit gerson joined the bush campaign before 2000 as a speechwriter and went on to head the white house speechwriting team no one doubts that he did his job exceptionally well wrote ramesh ponnuru in a 2007 article otherwise very critical of gerson in national review according to ponnuru bush s speechwriters had more prominence in the administration than their predecessors did under previous presidents because bush s speeches did most of the work of defending the president s policies since administration spokesmen and press conferences did not on the other hand he wrote the speeches would announce new policies that were never implemented making the speechwriting in some ways less influential than ever 16 on june 14 2006 it was announced that gerson was leaving the white house to pursue other writing and policy work 17 18 he was replaced as bush s chief speechwriter by the wall street journal chief editor william mcgurn citation needed lines attributed to gerson edit gerson proposed the use of a smoking gun mushroom cloud mixed metaphor during a september 5 2002 meeting of the white house iraq group in an effort to sell the american public on the nuclear dangers posed by saddam hussein according to newsweek columnist michael isikoff the original plan had been to place it in an upcoming presidential speech but whig members fancied it so much that when the times reporters contacted the white house to talk about their upcoming piece about aluminum tubes one of them leaked gerson s phrase and the administration would soon make maximum use of it 19 gerson said one of his favorite speeches was given at the national cathedral on september 14 2001 a few days after the september 11 attacks which included the following passage grief and tragedy and hatred are only for a time goodness remembrance and love have no end and the lord of life holds all who die and all who mourn 20 gerson was credited with coining such phrases as the soft bigotry of low expectations and the armies of compassion 21 his noteworthy phrases for bush are said to include axis of evil a phrase adapted from axis of hatred itself suggested by fellow speechwriter david frum but deemed too mild 22 criticism of gerson s speechwriting edit in an article by matthew scully one of bush s speechwriters published in the atlantic in september 2007 gerson was criticized for seeking the limelight taking credit for other people s work and creating a false image of himself no good deed went unreported and many things that never happened were reported as fact for all of our chief speechwriter s finer qualities the firm adherence to factual narrative is not a strong point 23 of particular note is the invention of the phrase axis of evil scully claims that the phrase axis of hatred was coined by david frum and forwarded to colleagues by email the word hatred was changed to evil by someone other than gerson and was changed because hatred seemed the more melodramatic word at the time 23 scully also had this to say about gerson my most vivid memory of mike at starbucks is one i have labored in vain to shake we were working on a state of the union address in john mcconnell s office when suddenly mike was called away for an unspecified appointment leaving us to keep going we learned only later from a chance conversation with his secretary where he had gone and it was a piece of washington self promotion for the ages at the precise moment when the state of the union address was being drafted at the white house by john and me mike was off at a washington d c starbucks store pretending to craft the state of the union in longhand for the benefit of a reporter 23 washington post columnist edit after leaving the white house gerson wrote for newsweek magazine for a time citation needed on may 16 2007 gerson began his tenure as a twice weekly columnist for the washington post his columns appeared on wednesdays and fridays 24 gerson a neo conservative repeatedly criticized other conservatives in his column and conservatives returned the favor one of gerson s first columns was entitled letting fear rule in which he compared skeptics of president bush s immigration reform bill to nativist bigots of the 1880s 25 in october 2017 gerson referred to president donald trump s fundamental unfitness for high office and asked whether he is psychologically and morally equipped to be president and could his unfitness cause permanent damage to the country he cited the leaked cries for help coming from within the administration they reveal a president raging against enemies obsessed by slights deeply uninformed and incurious unable to focus and subject to destructive whims 26 in august 2019 gerson wrote that it is a scandal that white evangelical protestants are not in a state of panic about their own demographic decline in the united states 27 one of the last articles he wrote was an essay on the continuing alliance between evangelical christians and donald trump in 2022 and his belief that such an alliance was foolish and unchristian 28 personal life edit gerson s wife dawn was born in south korea she was adopted by an american family when she was six years old and raised in the midwestern united states the couple met in high school and have two sons they resided in northern virginia 29 30 31 health and death edit gerson suffered from major depressive disorder and was hospitalized at least once for it 32 33 in 2013 gerson was diagnosed with kidney cancer 34 35 he also had parkinson s disease 36 he died from kidney cancer at a washington d c hospital on november 17 2022 at age 58 9 37 published works edit gerson michael 2007 heroic
