I'd keep going, but google returned almost 200 hits with "poor speaker" and

200? Shucks, if you type in "Nobby", "Moron", and "Bestiality" you get
more Google hits than that.

The history references I am familiar with do not refer to any of these
guys as poor speakers.


Sorry, Nobby, no cigar. Not even close.


Then you're blind...or ignorant...or just plain being an ass.

Well, you selected this list as "proof" that "poor speakers are the the
most brilliant" and your selected list was neither notably brilliant
(except Jefferson) nor notably poor speakers (except that Jefferson was
rarely an impressive speaker, and may have been occasionally referenced
as a poor one).

None of the people you listed were referred as mumbling and
mispronouncing words, misusing words, and generally giving the
impression of being an illiterate dolt when speaking in public.

So your theory remains unproven and supported mainly by your willingness
to hurl insults. Better line up the sock puppets to join in, it won't
prove anything but it'll make you feel better.
