And Dems Say Bush Is Inarticulate?

Bruce Lunsford is beyond needing the help of a new speechwriter. First, he needs to learn how to speak.

Ryan Alessi reports that on Thursday, Lunsford "dodged answering specific questions from reporters about his opinion of the bailout and seemed to go after McConnell by using as many clichés as possible."

Here's a Lunsford quote for the ages:

"Now the chickens have come home to roost," Lunsford said. "Now we're getting into a level that was built around a deck of cards that unfortunately we've got a gun to our head to do something."

Yeah, this guy is a first-rate orator. The U.S. Senate -- the world's greatest debating chamber -- has never seen such eloquence.
