Political speeches

Maybe it's just because I spend an hour or so each week in church listening to a sermon prepared by someone who really does understand public speaking. That conceded, whenever I listen to a politician talk, I have just one thing to say.

Swallow the mashed potatoes first, THEN start talking.

The only politician today that I could even begin to compare with the great orators of the past would be Mike Huckabee--and go figure, what did he do before he entered politics?
