Psychologically useful!
The idea that Bush might have psychologists rather than speech writers putting the words in his mouth is rather unnerving after reading about how effectively this psychological approach works. Although, I wonder if psychologists are a standard component of the average political administration and just aren't mentioned very often. That would explain Nixon's brilliant use of a cute, little dog named Checkers in his 1952 speech.

I would add to the discussion, but I really can't think of anything to add as this article/thread falls under the "New study suggests water is wet" category.
