"between chin and bellybutton"......... who wrote that shit for him?
That's what I hate most about politicians. None of them write their own shit. Don't any of them have thoughts of their own? Are any of them even the slightest bit eloquent?
Trust me when I tell you, you don't want your candidates writing their own speeches... /shudder
Christie wrote hos own last night...
It was OK, better than most candidates. I wrote speeches for a couple governors, corporate CEOs, members of Congress, etc. Every one of them thought they were gifted writers and orators. Usually had to let them fall on their faces once or twice before they learned to listen. Speech writing is not like writing prose. Writing for the ear and writing for the eye couldn't be more different.
Huckabee is speaking now, not sure if he wrote his remarks or not. If it wasn't him, whomever wrote his speech knows his delivery style and crafted it well. Part of it is Huckabee is a good entertainer that knows how to read an audience and morph to it, part of it is timing, cadence, and inflection.
The best speech in the world will sound like shit if not delivered by the right person, and the best orator can only do o muchif asked to deliver tripe. Most people overestimate their ability to deliver a speech, and worse, too many think they can go off script and ad lib. I always loved showing a client h video after they went off the reservation. The visible cringe is bust a gut laugh worthy.
