"...That was a great speech.."

bong...beep...eeeeepppppp... all oxymoron and non-sequitor alarms (mine are VERY sensitive) go off as someone uses "great speech" in a reference to "the Shrub"...

you may disagree about whether the content was tolerable, Doug (you hear what you WANT to hear)...but please, don't pretend that he can deliver his message in coherent sentences more than a few simple words long!

I didn't care for the politics of Nixon, Reagan, Bob Dole or Barry Goldwater...but any of them could at least talk without pre-digested, over-simplified slogans as the major component of their message!
