Heh...given his tendency to mangle words when describing his strateregy 
:-)  I'd say he's more like Bruce Willis in "The Fifth Element":   "Lady 
PLEASE (shut up)!!!  I only speak two languages - English and Bad English!!"

Listening to Pacifica as I not-infrequently do I'm often struck by how 
frequently the protesters have got some fact or another completely wrong, 
and how "the media" will not-infrequently call them on it and make them 
look like idiots.   By the same token, though, our leaders and people in 
power seem to get the facts just plain wrong not-infrequently either, and I 
suppose they get taken to task for it a lot, too.

I guess people want to believe our leaders are better than us so badly that 
they're more willing to overlook just how awful they can be.
