Oliver Sacks (in THE MAN WHO MISTOOK HIS WIFE FOR A HAT) wrote about two types of brain-injured people who weren't fooled by Reagan's delivery. Ones who couldn't process speech laughed at his phony mannerisms. Ones who couldn't read faces laughed at his nonsense. But "healthy" folks bought the set.

I noticed at the time that transcripts of his speeches read much differently than they sounded. "The Great Communicator" rarely actually communicated anything meaningful. One shouldn't expect substance in political speeches, but even so, his were mostly cotton candy with rancid swirls.
