Ha -- Bush has given some excellent speeches: the address to Congress and that to the UN were remarkable. However, the phrase "angel rides in the whirlwind and directs this storm" strongly connotates judgment or chastisement in a lexicographical sense, with the Bible as lexicon. And the phrase is too close to biblical usage for it to be construed simply as poetry or high rhetoric.
Enlighten me. How does this phrase connote judgement or chastisement? I agree that the phrase has meaning in a lexicographical sense, with the Bible as lexicon, but I think it communicates more of a reference to The Devine Being in charge of our mortal storm by way of the angel that rides the whirlwind and lends direction.
