COSH DISCUSSES DUBYA'S SPEECHIFYING: Rather than address the main points of Dubya's SOTU, Colby Cosh spares some thoughts for his speaking style.

"If you're looking for instapunditry on the SOTU address you've come to the wrong place. However, can I say--since I was just talking somebody's ear off about it and I felt it was a good pretext for updating the weblog--that Bush is certainly the best American political communicator since Reagan? It may sound funny to say this of a man who can't pronounce 'nuclear' correctly, but it occurs to me that he probably knows perfectly damn well how to say the word."
