On paper, CNN ''Newsnight'' anchor Aaron Brown has some good qualities. He is bright, even cerebral. He has a smooth set of pipes that are easy on the ears. He often asks smart, layered questions that go beyond the obvious. But as was the case in the days after the attacks on Sept. 11, the war on Iraq is again proving that he is just too studied, too enigmatic, and frankly, too weird, to be anchor material.

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.
Last night (Wed 26 Mar), I went to bed early but couldn't sleep...got up to watch Fox...ads...flipped to CNN to catch a glimpse...time: 1105p CST...
There's Brown, one-on-one with a CNN Pentagon reporter (don't remember who)...Brown says (nearly exact quote, I swear):
"It seems that the war isn't going exactly as the Pentagon planned."
And there it was: that smirk.It was a smirk that your fourth-grade teacher would have slapped you for! It was so nasty, so prolonged that it seemed he was restraining himself from laughing outloud!
Anybody else catch it? A most outrageous and unconcealed delight at adversity involving our Nation's mission in Iraq.
The slime...
???????????????
I hate his voice!!!
Let's just say his hair isn't quite the same color it was 10 years ago, and I'm not talking about the touch-of-gray sideburns, either. In fact, his hair isn't the same color now as it was in the photo in post 22 above, which I believe is between 12-18 months old.
