POSTED RESPONSE TO A COLUMN BY MICHAEL TOMASKI IN THE GUARDIAN
Michael Tomaski offers a pretty naive take on a couple of political speeches.
No analysis here at all, only hopes presented with confidence.
Speeches from people like Biden or Clinton are just that, speeches, and nothing more.
Joe Biden has made many barn-burner speeches in his years as a government-service lifer, yet what can anyone point to as an important Biden principle or issue? Nothing.
The man is all smiling gloss and no content, other than his own political interests - isn't that close to the definition of a psychopath?
Bill Clinton is well known as furiously angry in private over Obama's victory. Poor little Billy didn't get what he wanted, to make history as the first ex-president whose spouse in turn becomes president.
But when a narcissist like Clinton is put on a stage in front of a big crowd he just naturally says things that make the crowd respond.
That's just the way he's built. His words mean nothing, almost certainly having been written for him.
