Cut And Paste Any Bush* Speech Into MS-Word Then Check The Grammar...
if your spell-checker configuration has the "Show Readability Statistics" enabled... it's easy to see what Bush* speaking and reading level is.

Most of the time, the "Fleisch-Kincaid Grade Level" is at or near the 5th grade reading level. Clinton, Gore and Kerry speeches were all 11th grade and above. How revealing!!!

I believe that this reading level is determined by sentence length and complexity, paragraph length, and is weighted by average word length.

1. Actually
Don't his people screw with the transcripts before they hit the Internet(s)? The originals must be under 2nd grade.

2. I've done that several times.
Bush* also needs a 48 point font.

And he still makes mistakes!

Did you see him today?

Embarrassing.
