"Advice To Politicians"
I’m not a Republican,
but our guys could learn one thing from George W. Bush...
Keep it simple.
Most politicians bury their points in so much flowery garbage
that the points themselves are lost.
They should try this
next time they hear snoring from the audience:
Scratch out most of the adjectives and adverbs.
Erase the high sounding historical references,
and weasel phrases that take the punch out of a speech.
Delete any words and phrases that don’t directly drive the point home.
Let’s hear some plain street talk.
You orators are committing rhetorical suicide.
Hey guys!
You’re not getting paid by the speaking hour.
