Hypothetical situation: Your 4 yr old child is diagnosed with brain

Surgery will save her. Without the surgery, she'll be dead in a month.
Obviously, you want to meet the surgeon and make sure you're comfortable
with him/her. You meet. For one hour, the surgeon completely mangles the
English language to the point where you and your spouse are tapping each
other's ankles under the table as if to say "How the hell do we get out

of
this conversation gracefully?"

Would you hire that surgeon, or find another?


I would hire the best surgeon and not worry so much about his English.
When I had my surgery, I had it done by a person who talked like
a longshoreman, but who learned how to put people back together
in tents in Vietnam under fire.

The superficiality of the liberal approach is typified by your
question.


That's OK. I'm telling you right now that your president is as dumb as a bag
of hammers. And, in case anyone comes along and says he has a speech problem
with a fancy name, but is otherwise a bright guy, forget it. There is no
such speech problem.
