Bush has good speechwriters
It's a shame that the person they portray doesn't exist, and the world they describe is completely imaginary

1. And you've got to give them credit for their efficiency ...
... write ONE SPEECH and serve it up on every occasion, month after month, year after year ...

2. as Mike Malloy observed
that should stick to the basics -- one syllable words, as in "See Spot Run"

:D

7. He has never had good speech writers.
The only time I had any admiration for any speech was just after 9/11, when he read very short lines with very few syllables.

That was easy.

10. David Frum wrote Chimpy's "Axis of Evil"speech and soon after found
himself getting pink slipped by Karl Rove.

9. It only seems good compared to what he would say off the cuff.
Compared to other presidential speeches, it's shit.

11. It doesn't take a lot of talent to lie

Pretty easy when you aren't constrained by reality.

Even without that...I thought that this was one of his very worst ones.

12. It's a shame the
person delivering the speech can't speak clearly and with the correct cadence and inflection and without that silly smirk every time he thinks he done good.

One thing that Reagan could do well was deliver a speech. Even if HE didn't know what he was talking about, it still made sense.

14. All that and reverberating with language...
that seems to shut down the critical thinking areas of the human brain.
