Ainsley - for me just talks too fast but the whole show just aips anyway. She looked really nice. I remember she used to do the halftime news awhile back for Greta and Greta dresses “seriously” too. So you may be right about her wanting to look more businesslike -emulating a pro.
The little blonde clone that was standing in until they hired Earnhart was much better looking. Take the makeup off her and not good looking at all. She also went took speech lessons to get rid of her Spartanburg, South Carolina accent. Don’t like fakes.
She asked him a question over the air in her insane rapid-fire oral delivery....it was unintelligible it was so fast....and he, with ill-concealed annoyance, curtly told her to repeat the question because she was "talking too fast".
If I was next to him I would have kissed him, LOL.
Machine-gun talking seems to be the new norm now with a preponderance of TV talking heads, especially among scores of 30-something, screechy-voiced female pundits who are self-styled "experts" and "analysts" on everything in the news.
They speak at a rate much faster than the normal American language rate.....and faster than the ability of the average American to absorb 100% with their ears.
Plus, half of their blather is swallowed up and disappears because of this modern, increasingly-annoying speech affectation. So they're only defeating their own purposes with this artificial conceit.
The Bard himself must have run into this somewhere in his English surroundings because he stated in his own no-nonsense way:
"Her voice was ever soft...gentle and low...an excellent thing in a woman." (Shakespeare, "King Lear", Act V).
