Thanks so much for the link to Keith Olbermann on the Lewis ‘Scooter’ Libby affair, which points out exactly why there could never be an Australian Gettysburg. Olbermann used lots of standard rhetorical tricks: the speech was intelligent, erudite and eloquent with a rhythmic and impassioned delivery, faultless word choice and appeals to morality. Now imagine translating exactly what he said into an Australian accent. What do you have? A wanker.
