being somebody who demonstrates that he i guess we should say doesn't happen to be a reader. this is not a man of the printed page, so what he's holding is a rally. everything that he does in the name of politics has the atmosphere of something that you would usually expect at some kind of sporting event, and that includes the low level of vocabulary necessary to having a sporting event. you don't need to have verbal subtlety at a sporting event, you wouldn't want it. but the problem is he takes that kind of atmosphere, that kind of going for the gut and brings it into leading a nation with no sense of the fact that you're supposed to at least make a stab at grandeur. he often reminds me of lyndon johnson who was not the most refined person, but came to the office and knew that he had to pull his gut in. you hear the little stories about stuff he did in the bathroom talking about toilets, et cetera, but that was scuttlebutt, and you didn't know as much about it at the time.
