Quote of the Day | 1026
What this crisis has really been about is not cash flow or credit. It’s nothing to do with liquidity — what it’s really been all about is words. It’s the drying-up of mouths, the logorrhoea jam, the stammer and mutter of politicians who are incapable of making a confident sentence. Nobody has been able to speak to inspire. They all retreat to quavering caveating and timid obfuscation. Politicians talk with the empty grandiloquence of butlers and the bogus jargon of technicians. They steal meaningless, empty constructions from each other’s mouths like excited myna birds. They have lost the oratory and we have lost the ability to believe or trust them — and, worse, to be inspired or moved by them.
