BoJo on Sir Winston's Oratory

Steven Hayward of Power Line has a Telegraph video clip (scroll down) of the U.K.'s new PM Boris Johnson. In it he explains to an audience the rhetorical skills of his idol, Sir Winston Churchill.

Churchill was inarguably one of our language's best orators of at least the past century, perhaps ever. BoJo's explanation is both brilliant and entertaining. And he manages to hide a subtle putdown of the French in his final example.
