Hi Barrett. I finally got the piece produced, thanks for letting us work with your great script. I'm sending you the link in this email, and I'll probably release it sometime tomorrow or early Friday. The only glitch I caught was that the guy who did Dick Cheney left out a couple of words at the beginning of one sentence, and he's going to be unreachable for re-do until next week. My judgment is that it's minor and doesn't have a negative impact on the whole of the piece, so I'm comfortable releasing it. The beautiful part about what I do is that I can have him re-do the line next week, edit it into the piece and replace it on the feed.

Usually we have a few different comedy pieces in each of our episodes, but this one works best as a standalone piece, so it's the only bit in the whole episode. In the website text, I'll treat this as if it were the audio book version of Bush's book.

As I mentioned, I'll certainly list your contribution as the writer on the release of this, with mentions and links to your book and blog. If there's anything else that you would like in there, don't hesitate to let me know.

Here's the link. Thanks again, I hope you like what you hear.

Doug

Sure, go for it. Let me know when it's produced and send me a link, I'd love to hear it read by an impersonator. And a mention of my book, blog, etc. would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Barrett

Great diary at Daily Kos, funny as hell.

I produce an audio comedy show called "The Wilflipson Show" and would like to ask permission to use your piece as a script. We don't get any money for the show, so I can't offer payment, though you would obviously be credited on the website as the writer of the script with the release of the episode that it would appear in. I would also include a link to your blog plus a promo and link to your book as well.

If you want to cut to the chase and hear a bit with our resident Dubya and Dick (we have a staff of 13), you can click here, or if you want to hear it in context of a full episode, you can click here .

Kindly let me know your thoughts and thanks for the entertaining diary.
