McBush talks in run-on sentences. I can't
decide whether I hate his coordinating or subordinating conjunctions more.

1. Definitely subordinating
It's like he can't help but interrupt himself constantly

6. I think his use of "and" is the most
egregious, linking 4 or more independent clauses together. Focus dissipates rapidly.

5. McBush seems addle-brained.

Obama speaks in short declarative sentences. McBush's sentences remind me of Mark Twain's hilarious spoof of the German language, sentences meandering to a point where you forget the subject of the sentences by the time you reach the end of them.

4. Run on sentences are how repubs
make it sound like they are saying something, but they in fact are not. Palin used alot of them in her interviews also.
