Has anyone read the July/August issue of The Atlantic?
There's an interesting article by James Fallows. Basically,
it's about James Fallows's description of John Kerry's debating skills
("When George Meets John," July/August Atlantic). The most remarkable
part was Fallows's documentation of President Bush's mostly overlooked
changes over the past decade-specifically, "the striking decline in
his sentence-by-sentence speaking skills." Fallows points to
"speculations that there must be some organic basis for the
President's peculiar mode of speech-a learning disability, a reading
problem, dyslexia or some other disorder," but correctly concludes,
"The main problem with these theories is that through his forties Bush
was perfectly articulate."
This is scary. It reminds me of Reagan.
