Hume on presidential linguistic skills

Here is Fox News’ Brit Hume speaking to DRI conference goers on the eloquence of Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush:

“If I was in trouble – I mean really bad trouble, and I could have anybody in the world representing me . . . and I say this to a room full of lawyers, I’d want Clinton,” Hume said. “I sort of feel like he could make a jury believe anything.”

As for the current president: “President Bush has had some confrontations with the English language . . . and the English language has won.”
