One problem with Kerry, Bro. Lawrence - he didn't invent the internet.

Wellllll, from what I've seen, El Dubyah,
Kerry is PLENTY inventive. F'rinstance,
his CO from Vietnam said of at least one
of Ketchup Kerry's wounds, "I've had
scratches from rose thorns that ran deeper!"

Hey, getting two Purple Hearts from a scratch
requires some very ingenious wheedling.

As a speech instructor, GW Bush is an embarassment to his nation.


Before you snipped the original post, it would have been more apparent
that the discussion and my comment had zero to do with Bush's ability
as a public speaker, and far more to do with calling the POTUS--a
former governor of Texas and graduate of major universities-- a
"chimp" in general. It's the kind of comment that those on the left
will -never- understand is the reason "average" Americans are so
alienated from the academic and entertainment elites in the country.

While I agree he's far from a top notch public speaker, he is also far
from an embarrassment to the nation because he exhibits firmness,
resolve, and even sincerity (at least for a politician), something
his predecessor (who actually -was- an embarrassment to the nation, as
we now know) had no concept of despite his ability to appear slick
when speaking in public. Fortunately, most appear to realize that
there is more to a president's ability to communicate than "grades"
handed out by those who were clueless about his appeal three years
ago, were clueless about it at the mid term elections, and are still
clueless about it now.

Damn, I wish I could express myself the way you do!

Well stated!

Anyone who thinks Kerry is sincere is totally clueless. Well said T Early.

Hi Steve,

Do the British spell embarassment with tow 'R's?



Everybody spells embarrassment with two "r"s. It's
the correct spelling.

By the way as a speech instructor, doesn't the
sentence "As a speech instructor, GW Bush is an
embarassment to his nation" seem a little off to
you, besides the spelling mistake? Bush has had
a lot of jobs, but speech instructor
is not one of them.

As for incivility, I distinctly remember GHW Bush referring
to Clinton and Gore as "bozos" during a televised debate back
in '92.
Regardless of what you think of them, calling your
opponents "bozos" in a national broadcast is not exactly
a mark of civility. I don't think it's fair to blame the
entire left for MWB's comments, and I don't think the right is
blameless when it comes to crude insulting characterizations.

I don't think Bryant is really a speech instructor either.

Bozo is a beloved character. Perhaps GHW Bush was refering to Clinton and
Gore as such.

Keep it radio lads!

I'd say I'm more of a program listener
(hence my interest in US talk radio)

You might want to look in a recent dictionary. The American spelling is with
one R.

Yes, I admit that an excess of communication with Steve Lare has lowered my
writing skills.

I think most could figure out what I meant.

Bush has had
a lot of jobs, but speech instructor
is not one of them.

Obviously.
