Warren G. Harding is a man who writes the worst English that you have ever encountered. It reminds of a string of wet sponges; it reminds of tattered washing on the line; it reminds of stale bean soup, of dogs barking through endless nights.

Warren G. Harding is a man whose speeches left the impression of an army of pompous phrases moving over the landscape in search of an idea.
