Soporific and pompous, he annoys me on such a visceral level that I can't even explain it fully.
One second of Aaron Brown's nasal whining voice is sheer torture.
I was thinking about this last night - how so many of the broadcasters seem to have speech impediments of some type.
*Barbara Walters - can't pronounce R's
*Aaron Brown - whiny, nasal voice
*Tom Brokaw - mouth full of marbles
*Connie Chung - slight lisp
*a Bwitish woman on the BBC - even wuhs than Babwa Wawtas
*half of PBS - nasal & nerdy-sounding
*the other half - speak-ing ver-y slow-ly & pro-noun-cing one syl-la-ble at a time - sheer tor-ture!
I had more in mind last night. I've forgotten who else.
