My father told me that if you have to tell people who you are, you are not that. Tough people don’t need to tell people they are tough, you just know it. In Ellen’s case, when you have to continually be reminded that she is nice, it’s highly likely she isn’t. Another example is when the media tried to sell Ryan as a conservative.
Remember when they sold Rosie O’Donnell as the “Queen of Nice”?
No one ever had to say “Elvis Presley, famous singer”. like they would for someone that few people had ever heard of.

Same goes for people who constantly tell you how rich they are or what a genius they are.
