"rhetorical flourish"?

Say what you mean, mean what you say?

I was watching RED EYE last night and they were talking about the opening round of la senorita's interview. They were right, It is a suckfest. For the sake of being PC, I will leave out the best question of last night's program.


I again apologize to the rest of the country for Dianne Feinstein's appointment to the Senate. She has got to be one of he most annoying politicians on the planet.

-----------------------------

Pat Leahy is fumbling around on CNN about the "wise latina" comment.

I think that sotomayor misspoke- she meant to say, "Homie, This homegirl came from the hood and yo whiteboys just ain't got the 'sperience this OG gots from growing up in the NYC.

---------------------------------------

OH,

I have to say this right now.

I have this underlying dislike of our 'shoo-in' appointee-Not because of her not having bits or her latina-ness or her having more experience for the job.

I CANNOT STAND "professional" people who are inept when it comes to public speaking.

In years gone by, a politician would get to a mike and was able to muddle through a speech or make a comment that was almost perfect.

These days I am effing amazed that a person, born and raised in America, gets to a premier school, gets a law degree, becomes a judge and possibly the next SCJ for the United States and still cannot use English properly.

This is a peeve of mine that shows how petty I am. My dad had a thick accent, never really got the hang of the language -It smell like hell in here!-
But he made pretty damn sure that his kids were schooled and were able to speak the King's English properly.

----------------------


To hear a person, who has more education that I'll ever see, hack and mangle sentences makes me shake my head and wonder.

I gots the idea that there be a problem with some thing that don't make so much sense when you hear it the first time.

The more I see and hear people that went to a uni/college, get wonderful jobs, yet, cannot seem to speak english properly, lets me know that no one took the time to correct them. It makes me cringe, not because I am any better or smarter. It just irritates me that we look the other way when we hear it.

Wisdom, brains, common sense should never be measured against the way a person speaks, but I wonder how a smart person could never realize how they sound when they speak.
