You know, the silly thing about all this records flap is that some of the
records are meaningless if you don't know how to interpret them.

Take the Fitness Reports, for example. In one article I read, the
reporter
was absolutely atwitter over the fact that one or two of Kerry's superior
officers commented on his exemplary use of the English language, how
generally well spoken he was, and his overall bearing and demeanor.
Here's
a guy who was raised in a home where English was properly spoken, and then
spent most of his life at a Swiss boarding school, St. Paul's, and Yale.
In
the early sixties, he was for a while dating Jackie Kennedy's half sister,
and was a regular, with the Kennedys, at the Bouvier "cottage" in Newport.

My background was nothing like that, but I can still speak the native
language of this country more proficiently than your president. Why is that?

Most of the union guys I know, guys my age who never had the
opportunities college offers and who worked physical labor for 40 years,
also speak English better than Bush. And read it better, too.

This is even spookier: All the news sources interview people from China and
other countries whose languages are as much like English as potatoes are
like celery. They all surpass Bush in their command of our language. The
sheep here will respond that the news media CHOOSE people to interview based
on their ability to communicate, but that's a silly argument. I don't care
if someone from Beijing had the richest parents on earth and attended all
the best schools. They still grew up in Beijing, while Bush grew up (?)
here. What a joke.

You're very good at this, John. You never address the issues when the issue
at hand places you in a pool of quicksand. Care to explain why someone from
Kazakhstan has a better command of the English language than your leader?
Remember - we're talking about the leader of the world's most powerful
country, someone who should be able to communicate clearly 110% of the time,
without a script.
