Well, you can find it on wikipedia for ease, but it was a speech in 1952 by one Noah S. "Soggy" Sweat, Jr., Mississippi State legislature was voting to see the state could continue it's local prohibition laws or not.

It’s spectacular!

it is the very soul of the political animal made manifest. I swear, it's like someone gave a pooka a barony title and far too many dots in expression/performance

YES!

It took 2 plus months to write IIRC. This man spent 2 months crafting the perfect evasive and yet in your face speech I think I've ever heard. Honestly, I think that was why he was put on this planet.

A true artist in his craft.

First time I stumbled onto it, I was like 'why don't they teach me this stuff in school? it's AWESOME" ...and then I realized that that the teachers were probably dreading the "if then by book report" speeches that would flow

My first thought was that it belongs in an argument unit.

It might be just over the top enough to keep interest on all sides

And a good exercise in how to parse BS.

Critical thinking? No, the sunlight to the rhetorical vampire!

I love it!

The speech that is
