re: #113 lawhawk

Thank you, Lawhawk. You make the point well. George Will may have raised the subject with partisan motivations, but the fact remains that the speeches were poorly designed, both in content and (I would argue) in style, to persuade judges to award the prize. Will’s criticism simply touches on a statistical gimmick that is related to speech content.

The Olympic thing is not a conservative/liberal argument. They just made a poor argument.
