W's speech

[Forstater, Mathew]

But there's more than that, I think. When I heard him say "subliminable" on the
radio, I got the distinct feeling that what he was going for was "if I can't
even pronounce it, there is no way I can be guilty of employing it in a
commercial." Mat

This mislocution does not bode well. The successfully muddle-
mouthed examples of Reagan and Bush the Elder made it clear 
that many voters believe it important that a candidate appears 
imbecilic to non-voters, and those voters vote accordingly.
