Have you had much experience with him? Howard really is a woeful speaker. Not only was the content full of the rhetoric we have come to expect from him, but I’m quite sure he would have delivered it poorly as well.

Any of the journalists present should probably be given a pat on the back for staying awake.

There's something in that outstanding monologue about 'an honest broker' too. Beyond the fringe should be listened to everyday in these times, it sounds absolutely contemporary.
