Wal-Mart salvo worth a look

Most bombastic business speech in recent memory

A better blogger would have given you an item on this Wednesday.

That was the day that Wal-Mart CEO Lee Scott gave a bold defense of his company and a truculent attack on its critics at Town Hall Los Angeles. The speech should be required reading for all speechwriters who can't remember the last occasion they've had to write a truly persuasive speech.

And CEOs, who are afraid to say anything, should read this taut, well-argued speech that says everything.

Much more detail to come in the next issue of Speechwriter's Newsletter, where we analyze the speech, paragraph by paragraphå‚­ut meanwhile, read the transcript in the What's New section of Speechwritercity.com
