He struggles to exude authority.  He furrows his brow, trying to look more sagacious, but he ends up looking as if he has indigestion.  Appearing confused at his own speech, he seems like a first-grade actor in a production of James and the Giant Peach.  Are his blinks Morse code for "Oh, man, don’t let that teleprompter break?"  ~Maureen Dowd, about George W. Bush
