Bad press

1
Bad press

• ... rough and loose ... the ideas almost
  stammered out....
• Questionable in taste ..., that fault is small
  in comparison with gross ignorance, or willful
  mis-statement, of the primary fact....
• How dared he ... mis-state the cause....

More bad press

• The speaker tried to establish the miserable
  falsehood that....
• ... a mawkish harangue....
• ... an offensive exhibition of boorishness and
  vulgarity....
• ... his buffoonery reflects disgrace upon the
  nation he represents.
• ... imbecility....

Some more

• The speaker ... by his own blundering
  incapacity ... jabbers some vulgar jargon to the
  multitude, who had assembled there with the
  expectation of hearing an appropriate address.
• ... the silly remarks ... we are willing that
  the veil of oblivion shall be dropped over them,
  and that they shall be no more repeated or
  thought of.
• This speech was ... if possible, worse than that
  ... of another speaker who shared the same
  podium that day. That speaker's address was ...
  the work of a superannuated rhetoriciana
  collection of disjointed drivel and platitudes
  barren in sentiment, poor in argument, and weak
  in delivery.

Finally,

• The ceremony was rendered ludicrous by some of
  the sallies of that poor speaker.
• ... dull and commonplace....

JOKE

• At a recent software engineering management
  course in the US, the participants were given an
  awkward question to answer. "If you had just
  boarded an airliner and discovered that your team
  of programmers had been responsible for the
  flight control software how many of you would
  disembark immediately?"Among the ensuing forest
  of raised hands, only one man sat motionless.
  When asked what he would do, he replied that he
  would be quite content to stay onboard.

  unlikely to even taxi as far as the runway, let
  alone take off.
