The Cellar - View Single Post - George W. Bush: pivotal campaign speeches?

One of my colleagues who has been in the business for a very signicant period of time is possibly the absolutely worst public speaker imagineable. he can't give a 5 minute presentation without making me cringe and yet he is one of the most intelligent men i have ever met and prospective clients wait in line to get a chance to speak with him. it seems likely that these people understand that the person with the smoothest delivery isn't always the most qualified or the best choice to hire, while the person with less than admireable speaking skills is sometimes perfect for the job.
