Ouch

What he said:
In America, the articulate use of language is often regarded with suspicion. Especially in the West. Look at the president. He could talk like an educated New Englander if he chose to. Instead, he holds his hands like a man who swings an ax. George W. Bush understands, very astutely, that many of the people who are going to vote for him would regard him less highly if he knew how to put words together. He would no longer be one of them. In Europe, the tradition is one of oratory. But in America, a
man's man is never spendthrift with words. This, of course, is much more
appealing in the movies than it is in politics. ~ Daniel Day-Lewis
