Talk about shallow..

It was a clear, well-written post, going straight to the bone. Could it go any deeper? - orejones 02:30:08 07/31/04 (0)
Certainly not, when the subject under comment is GW Bush.

A primitive collage. Badly cut.

  I was referring to the above comments about the Presidents public speaking ability. Some people value style over substance which is a rather shallow view, especially when looking through a filter like this film.
  You're correct about the film being a collage. However I would say "cut with a purpose", not "badly cut."

    Hi Vedric,
    not sure I understand the exact intent of your post, but I would say that, sometimes (certainly not always), style and substance go hand in hand. I find Bush's public speaking (and any other type of speaking I've heard of him), even when reading, lacking in both--simplistic in content, perception, and linguistic ability. But this is just MY opinion, and a large proportion of people will certainly disagree with me.
