[Miss Marple]

One of the greatest frauds of the 20th Century is the media's constant repetition that Clinton is a "wonderful speaker." His speeches are exactly as you have described them...laundry lists and banal comments, with no coherent theme and certainly lacking in poetry.

I was not impressed with his speechwriters, and in his desire for perfection and detail (as discussed in the Edith Efron article) he was always making last minute additions and changes, making the speech even more incoherent.

Yet week after week, month after month, year after year, Chris Matthews, Judy Woodruff, Tim Russert and the rest kept telling us he was a wonderful speaker.

It was and is a fraud.
