Their words on the health care debate were eloquent, spirited, some loaded with personal anecdotes that gave them that extra touch of credibility. They were published in the Congressional record. And, although signed by individual members of Congress, they sounded strikingly alike. It turns out, The New York Times reports, that the speeches were crafted by wordsmiths, mercenaries of the pen, hired by the pharmaceutical lobbying firm Genentech. Totally bipartisan in their manipulation: one set of talking points for the Republicans; another one for the Democrats. Ça ne m'etonne pas du tout!
