You don't negotiate for a living do you. Or even work for a living for that matter.

Ya no Nash, ole Jimmy Carfill wuz wun a dem Luziannah Cajuns what cud make da swich fum bayou talkin' crackuh to citah-slickah langwich...and he could do it in an eye-blink without missing a beat. The natural result of a college education and a large dose of ambition. Sho'.

Nash · « **Reply #51 on:** July 22, 2004, 08:31:47 PM »

Yeah!

But on a somewhat curious note.... Bush in Texas was a city talker, then switched to southern talk only upon taking a job neccessitating speaking to the entire nation.

That's not a knock or anything close, because I just don't understand it well enough to form an opinion on it. It is... yeah... curious.

Nash, it is often better to play to a preconception than to fight it. As I stated above, it gives you an advantage by re-enforcing a preconception. Sometimes it works better to do the opposite, re: in a formal debate against an opponent who can twang even better than you.

Nash,

Ole Slick Willy had been in Southern politics long enough to see through Bush's stumble-bumblin' speechifyin'. That's why, before he left office, he warned people not to underestimate him.

Nash · « **Reply #56 on:** July 22, 2004, 09:43:41 PM »

hmmm... Yup. I git what yer saying. I need to digest it a bit.

Lizking · « **Reply #57 on:** July 22, 2004, 09:44:53 PM »

Don't sweat it, just keep pokin the tiddies.

Nash,

For further proof, see if you can find a copy of the speech Bush made to the joint session of Congress in which he warned the Taliban to give up Ben Laden.

He did not sound like the same person. That was a better speech...short, succint, and lucid...than any he had ever delivered before. I got chill bumps listening to him.

That was no accident...and it wasn't the result of intensive coaching by his speech writers either. He has had this sort of ability all along...most of the time I believe he simply panders to the prejudices of his political opponents. They underestimate him, despite Clinton's warnings, and he uses their contempt to stay one step ahead of them. At least most of the time.

Okay... I'm starting to get it...

And it's rich... because it alters my entire idea of Bush. No small thing.

If true.... I am then left with one nagging, problem.

He's reached the pinnacle of everything. He's the President of the United States of America. So whatever he did to get there, okay.... I'm down with it.

But there is a part of me that says "When you've arrived, isn't it now time to ditch the mask?"

Seems much too serious of a position to continue to put on a charade.

It's new to me, so my perception/reaction could be way off.
