I also find Lowry’s chipmunk cheeks distracting. This condition, which probably has a medical cause, detracts not only from his appearance but also affects his speech articulation. He really does look and sound as though he is packing walnuts in his cheeks. He should have this condition treated, if possible, for the sake of his professional effectiveness. However, I also find his supercilious demeanor annoying, especially given the rather weak analysis that he often gives as an FNC commentator. He sometimes comes across like a sort of Chevy Chase character saying, “I’m the editor of National Review, and you’re not” (so you should accept everything I say). Andrea Tantaros, in contrast, impresses me as one of the most intelligent, informed, and articulate members of the FNC lineup (as does Harris Faulkner).
