Did you ever watch Parliament on CSPAN? I used to watch just to hear Tony Blair's skill at rhetoric. Such a lost skill in American politics... Read the Lincoln - Douglas debates or Lincoln's 2nd inaugural address and then watch Rep. Corinne Brown at iowahawk. It's enough to make you cry.
"The majesty and grandeur of the English language." Oratory sans teleprompter. Love it.
