speechmaker

Daniel Webster is said to have called Prentiss the greatest speechmaker he ever heard.

“It was when he became the big speechmaker that everything started to slow down,” he said.

The fact that four of the main speechmakers on the four nights of the convention were his children was simply because they were literally the best people in America.

His own president didn't go for Biden's advice on Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere, so while he may have been a boisterous speechmaker in the Senate, his actual record consists of a half-century of gross misjudgments.

The previous year he made one of his final screen appearances as a speechmaker who extols the virtues of Keira Knightley's title character in The Duchess.
