Gimbol's diatribe and screed

A bit on cliche's

I seemed to get a since of deja vu watching certain politicians when they speak, or the press pics of them at a speaking engagement. What I notice most is when they start using the same gesture to the point where it becomes a cliche. One prime example was Bucky Dither's and his overuse of certain words and phrases.
The annoying part about this habit is that Mr Martin never created the phrase, catch word, or gesture himself, it was someone else's creation. In effect he co-opted it (or at least his speech writer did).

Which brings me to the current crop of candidates in the race to Stornoway.

Have you noticed lately how much Icky is using the "power fist" of late?



When someone starts depending on a cliche too much, it reveals not only a lack of depth, but a glaring lack of the quality they most want to portray.
