Check out this off-the-cuff sentence from General Hayden's confirmation hearings:
"You get a lot more authority when the work force doesn't think it's amateur hour on the top floor," he said. "You get a lot more authority when you've got somebody welded to your hip whom everybody unarguably respects as someone who knows the business."
Now that is one guy who knows how to say things so that they won't fall flat when they get into print. I don't know about you, but when I read quotes from notable people, they often do fall flat. Especially celebriwh*res. And their consorts or concubines, whichever gender they happen to be. :)
