logomancerI just found this very interesting artricle. It describes how Bush utilizes emotional language in his speeches for political gain. It helps to explain a lot of questions I've had -- mainly, why someone mainstream hasn't called bullshit on Bush over Iraq. Maybe they should read this article...

#2 Every political speech I've ever heard contain these same techniques, particularly Clinton's. It's nothing new.
