.... The president may even believe most of the stuff he hears himself say ....

Should perhaps (?) read: The president may even believe that part he comprehends, even partially, of the stuff other pathological narcissists write and that cause him to visibly puff-up at the sound of the big words he hears dribbling down his ever-more-Mussolini-angled chin, as he, like us, hears them for the first time.

The time for war has not yet come, but it will come, and that soon; and when it does come, my advice is to draw the sword and throw away the scabbard.

That according to Wikipedia is what Stonewall Jackson actually said. It is improper to distort the words of such a great man.

Wes Pruden might well revise the headline.

The “interests” of the United States, as Mr. Obama might define them, could only be defended by another bow from the presidential waist.

Ouch!

Nobody can do a putdown like Wes Pruden. That man wields the English language like a broadsword.
