re: #99 tradewind

He is the most overexposed politician I can remember. I really believe he and his advisors buy into his own specialness, and feel that the rules of media do not apply to his presidency… there’s no other explanation for his Letterman escapade, for example. It chipped away at the gravitas he is surely trying to embrace, and that is not my opinion… it is all over the usually fawning foreign press.

I disagree. Every time his base sees him, it reminds them of why they voted for the guy and keeps is polling from dropping why pushing his agenda. I watched and enjoyed the Letterman show, and don’t much care about perceived gravitas, I like his as a man. Of course, for those that don’t like him, it’s a chalk on the blackboard moment. I feel the much the same way when I watch Palin, painful for me, although I don’t dislike her as a person.
