ABC News journalist Martin Bashir is in a bit of hot water for some tasteless humor during a speech he gave to the Asian American Journalists' Association. There's one line in the speech however, which he attributes to 19th century British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli (but which I can't find anywhere else), that I found rather clever.
"Every speech that I give I regard as a dress on a beautiful woman. It needs to be long enough to cover the important points and short enough to keep us interested."
Good advice to worried marketers who favor a kitchen sink approach in their communications vehicles.
