A couple of months ago I began to wonder why every speech of George W. Bush sounded so weird to me. Then it dawned on me: he speaks in haiku!
He splits every sentence into short bursts of 2 – 4 simple words followed by a pause. Just listen to him speak and you’ll notice it, too.
I can only speculate on the cause of such speech style, but if I suspect it’s because seven, plus or minus two rule is more like four, plus or minus two with him.
Joseph Price (M.D.) has a different explanation.
One thing I’m absolutely sure about. It’s not because of his appreciation of foreign cultures. He has none.
