An afterthought concerning Joe Biden reading his TV presentations off a “face-on monitor,” about which we commented a couple of days ago. Seemingly all successful (i.e., elected) politicians believe they are excellent at off-the-cuff commentary, at winging it.
The harsh truth: most are better when they read prepared remarks. A few like Senator Kennedy (R-LA) do excellent wisecracks, which may be spontaneous but may also be preplanned and remembered for later use.
