Dave Ellen--I agree that there are much bigger faults than inarticulateness, although it's a troublesome attribute in a leader. We'll see if it catches up with him or not; I'm betting it will. I have much more trouble with some of his policy proposals (irresponsible tax cut, ineffective and provocative SDI proposal) than I do his inability to articulate policy (which, since i disagree with most of his ideas, I'm grateful that he IS inarticulate!).

"Our former President was articulate as hell, but you couldn't trust a thing he said." Either this (trust) does not matter to many dems, or they are very gullable. Who cares what someone says if you can't trust them. He was articulate though.

Do you know this guy? He's from Anchorage and writes reviews on Amazon. Check this one out Merriam Webster's Collegiate Dictionary by Merriam-Webster 9 of 18 people found the following review helpful: Not Interesting at All!, December 4, 2000 Reviewer: Hon. Lou P. Nizer, Jr. (Ret.) (see more about me) from Anchorage, AK I've heard of avant-garde writing, but this is ridiculous! First of all, there is no discernable plot. Second of all, no style - hard even to find a narrative "voice" although the author does adopt a scholarly, fairly arrogant tone that calls to mind Nabakov's "Humpbert Humpbert." All this is is words and, in some sad last look at modernism and its desire to classify, their "meanings." The words appear to be in alphabetical order, although I have not read all of this, and there are suggested techniques for speaking the words - the author's desire to impose him/herself (Merriam Webster? must be a woman) is wholly lacking in even basic awareness of cultural studies. Nevertheless, one does appreciate attempts at new literature. Still, I'd like to take this to the shed out back with my copy of "Of Grammatology" and deconstruct it. 9 of 18 found the review helpful. Do you wonder about the other 9? <G> here's another one he wrote The Chronicles of Narnia BOXED SET : The Magician's Nephew; The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe; The Horse and His Boy; Prince Caspian; The Voyage of the Dawn Treader; The Silver Chair; and The Last Battle by C. S. Lewis, Pauline Baynes(Illustrator) 3 of 44 people found the following review helpful: Commercialism to the Max, December 5, 2000 I bought these books to have something nice to read to my grandkids. I had to stop, however, because the books are nothing more than advertisments for "Turkish Delight," a candy popular in the U.K. The whole point of buying books for my grandkids was to give them a break from advertising, and here (throughout) are ads for this "Turkish Delight"! How much money is this Mr. Lewis getting from the Cadbury's chocolate company anyway? This man must be laughing to the bank!
