If so, it seems mostly to be a whine about how none of our political leaders are capable of making a speech as rousing as Sarah Palin. I'll agree, they mostly are pretty dull speakers. On the other hand, I don't want leaders whose speeches are only militant cheerleading, which IMO was all there was to the speech written for Palin.

Fulford mostly sounds desperately bored with politics.
