And about all the “unintelligible” parts of the AP interview (it was ALL unintelligent, but I digress.)

Charles P. Pierce:

How can something said in this interview situation possibly be “unintelligible”? Did the president* mumble something into his shirt? Did he lapse into whispering? Did he start speaking in Aramaic or in tongues? Did he start singing obscure show tunes in an unknown Balkan dialect? What in the name of god is going on here?…

There was the customary sprawling ravine between his applause lines on the stump and what he’s actually doing, delivered in what appears at first glance to be English but which, on further review, seems to be a dialect somewhere between Old English and Woody Woodpecker.
