I guess there is JUST going to be no statifying some people, we have become too jaded as a people, too demanding in our expectations, expecting - no demanding entertainment level banter and MTV-level performances from anybody's mug who appears on TV. Is that last explanation close to the mark? Noonan: - droll delivery - no fireworks - uses obscure references to history - dull, drab looks.

Make up your mind Mr. Contrarian :)

I'm still 'fishing' for why you weren't satisfied with my president's 'performance?

I guess he has to 'move' into a sphere, an 'act' that isn't his own, IOW, become someone who he is not in order to satisfy some ...

I *still* have to point out that I think he was working to defuse 'ol Timmy boy and his barbed, semi-caustic, projected to be 'hard-hitting' style.

I guess you're not familiar with the GWB 'style' that calls for significant underplay of one's position UNTIL it is necessary to nail the opposition tot he wall.
