"Doug has a remarkable ear for what the media will run with and for what will
define an election. His talent for defining issues in single phrases is
unmatched in American politics.
"
Clark Judge, Managing Director, White House Writers Group
"Doug Gamble is an extraordinary political joke-writer and provider of
great applause lines and message points."
"Your stuff was great, Doug. Funny, sharp, right on the money. I will absolutely try to work with you again."
"I asked a gifted humor writer named Doug Gamble to do some jokes in
which (1988 presidential candidate) Bush would poke fun at himself. He
contributed wonderful witticisms, but his most important contribution
was not a joke but a beautiful metaphor: 'After two great (Reagan)
terms, a switch will be made. But when you have to change horses in
midstream, doesn't it make sense to switch to the one who's going the
same way?' Months later, Ronald Reagan told me this was the single best
statement of what was at issue in the 1988 campaign."
"It all comes down to something George Bush said at the Republican
National Convention: If we must change horses, at least we should
change to a horse that's headed in the same direction. For that reason,
The Detroit News endorses George Bush for president."
"In reading press clips I was struck by the frequency with which your
jokes are quoted and by how many of them I could recall. It's
educational to learn the source of all these witticisms."
"The Bohemian Grove speech was laced with your humor and turned into an
enormous success. They told me it was the first standing ovation for a
Lakeside Chat speaker since Richard Nixon."
"J.C. reports the speech was a huge success - standing O - not ever
happened before with a GOP speaker. (At this event, Winter Gridiron
Dinner.) Doug, you are the best. It was a pleasure working with you."
"Thanks for coming through yet again with quick, witty lines."
"The humor and many of the soundbites were provided by Doug Gamble, who
wrote some of Ronald Reagan's best lines and most memorable
self-deprecating humor. In Wisconsin, he gave Mr. Dole his most quoted
soundbite."
"Thanks for all your help on my special project. Your ideas were a big
hit. I am very grateful."
"Thanks for the memory of your talent."
