Re: Joe Walsh's bullying "banter" with CNN's Ashleigh Banfield and the repetitive use of her name...

... is there some "verbal domination tactic" that includes repeated use of the other person's first name (used
here to a degree that I've never heard before) as a method of establishing dominance or "ownership" over/of
the other person.
.
I used to work customer service and I noticed this habit before. I always sensed a smugness in the general
presentation of the people who employed it as if they were reminding me of "my place", often beginning and
ending a sentence (even a very short one) with my first name.

Are people being trained for potential adversarial or control positions with this as one of their "weapons"?
.
If so, Walsh has an extremely limited arsenal upon which to rely. That must have seemed pathetic to all but
Teabaggers, who would have seen him as TROUNCING the "commie".

And why don't these interviewers eventually just make a "cut his mike until I get out my question" gesture
when they see that depending on a normal back-and-forth interview is not what their subject wishes to allow
in the least?
