1. Fits right in with other egomaniacal blowhards that do that. Maybe to hear the sound of their own name??

2. Like Bob Dole.

5. Royal "we"...

The royal we, also known as the majestic plural (Latin: pluralis majestatis) or royal plural, is the use of a plural pronoun (or corresponding plural-inflected verb forms) by one who is a monarch or high office holder to refer to oneself. A more general term for the use of a we, us, or our to refer to oneself is nosism.

-snip-

The royal we is commonly employed by a person of high office, such as a monarch or other type of sovereign. It is also used in certain formal contexts by bishops and university rectors. William Longchamp is credited with its introduction to England in the late 12th century, following the practice of the Chancery of Apostolic Briefs.[2]

6. When he praises himself

Tells everyone how wondrous he is, how smart, talented - he can do so from a third-party point of view. Then it's technically not self praise.

7. Because he values himself above everybody else.

He's the ultimate narcissist.

He sounds like a complete idiot....oh, wait...he is!
