The Orators and the 1972 Democratic Convention
William F Buckley Jr critiques Democratic convention oratory in Miami 1972. He targets speakers like Glenn Muskie and Barbara Jordan for vapid rhetoric, paralepsis, and political posturing while mocking the networks ratings and Hubert Humphrey’s English speech and the Ford vetoes. He uses sharp, sardonic tone to contrast lofty voices with empty content.
