I stand by this man, I stand by this man, because...
Text to be translated

Source language: English

I stand by this man, I stand by this man, because he stands for things. Not only for things, he stands on things, things like aircraft carriers, and rubble, and recently flooded city squares, and that sends a strong message, that no matter what happens to America, she will always rebound with the most powerfully staged photo-ops in the world. Now, there may be an energy crisis. Well, this president has a very forward thinking energy policy, why do you think he's down on the ranch cutting that brush all the time? He's trying to create an alternative energy source. By 2008, we will have a mesquite powered car.

I have analyzed this speech extensively. I recognized a theme from this speech. : it is the style of the court jester in medieval times, who frequently was the only one who would openly joke and tell truths about the King, in his role as the fool.
