"He's just not a charismatic guy, which might be some of his appeal to Obama, who hates real competition in the rhetorical arena."

Joe's not charismatic? Has this writer ever seen people light up when Joe looks their way? People all over him when he was campaigning in small venues?

And I think Obama - or anyone in that position - would't care for real competition in the rhetorical areas. As we've discussed before, Joe has been a model surrogate.

I used to hate the P-I when I was in Seattle. It was a stupid newspaper -- The Seattle Times was the good one.

I remember a big headline in the P-I "Nancy Reagan miffed by Raisa Gorbachev's glamorous wardrobe." Hard hitting news! Nancy Reagan MIFFED! :rofl:

But I'll cut them some slack for this piece.
