From a Washington Post obit by Brian Murphy headlined “Michael Gerson, Post columnist and Bush speechwriter on 9/11, dies at 58”:
Michael Gerson, a speechwriter for President George W. Bush who helped craft messages of grief and resolve after 9/11, then explored conservative politics and faith as a Washington Post columnist writing on issues as diverse as President Donald Trump’s disruptive grip on the GOP and his own struggles with depression, died at a hospital in Washington.
