Criticizing the President’s Address
Rush Limbaugh has some interesting quotes from the press regarding the President’s speech.
The Harrisburg Patriot and Union wrote: “We pass over the silly remarks of the President; for the credit of the nation we are willing that the veil of oblivion shall be dropped over them and that they shall no more be repeated or thought of.”
The Chicago Times: “The cheeks of every American must tingle with shame as he reads the silly, flat, and dishwatery utterance.”
The London Times: “[T]he ceremony was rendered ludicrous by some of the sallies of that poor President … Anything more dull and commonplace it would not be easy to produce.”
The Springfield Republican was surprised at how well [the president] did, though, noting: “We had grown so accustomed to homely and imperfect phrase in his productions that we had come to think it was the law of his utterance.”
Oh, by the way. Which president? Which speech?
Abraham Lincoln. Gettysburg Address.
[Does] [the] [reaction] [sound] [familiar]?
* Rush’s quotes were taken from Abraham Lincoln: The Prairie Years and The War Years, by Carl Sandburg
Update: Ace of Spades has an extensive roundup of reactions to the speech. And Scott Ott weighs in.

Quite an interesting comparison of GW Bush to Abraham Lincoln. I wonder how many other comparisons to Abe that Bush can have.

Excellent examples of the liberal press spewing the same BS after 140 years.
