One would think he's at least remember the name of the President of Mexico while he was in office.
After hemming and hawing for a few minutes, he said his favorite was a past president of Mexico, but couldn't come up with a name.

Johnson does not have a good television presence.
Some of his facial expressions are ludicrous - for example, bulging eyes at one point.

Without Bill Weld by his side to save face, Johnson would be laughed off the podium.
