This reminds me of my smarter brothers complaints about GWBush
before the election:
he is not glib, therefore he must be an idiot.
My response was and is that it is perhaps not so sensible or
reasonable thing to judge people's intelligence or decision-making
capacity, by their ability to speak in public. It is doubly
meaningful to me, that my brother struggles with a son with
learning disabilities. Learning disabilities do not make you
stupid or incompetent.

It is perhaps unfortunate that the recipients have so much trouble
separating content from expression. Remind me of my wisdom! You
may call me names if it suits you, but remind me of my wisdom!
