it's the whole package with him that just makes me want to vomit and has, since WAY back in the day (think 1994).
There's the little panting he does between phrases or sentences (depending on how short the sentence was)....has anyone ever noticed that? When he stops to take a breath it is really obvious and noisy. THAT is annoying as hell.
Then there is the totally affected drawl. Let's look at this for a moment, shall we? As someone with a minor in Linguisics, I know a tad about it. He was born in New England to New England parents who do NOT have a southern drawl. He spent a few years of his childhood in Texas, true, but then attended prep school in Maryland and undergrad at Yale. Grad school was Harvard. He was kinda all over the place after that. Then governor of Texas, long after his speech patterns would have been set. And he's been in DC for four years.
Now HOW in the HELL would he still have THAT thick of a dialect?
Answer: he wouldn't. Seriously, he wouldn't. He might legitimately have a TINY drawl, but not much. Barely noticeable. He works it, thickens it. It's all part of that hijacked identity of Texas cowboy which is so much bullshit it makes me want to puke my dinner up.
Then there's the walk. Can someone once and for all get that corncob or whatever it is out of his ASS??
Lastly, the smirk. I don't think I've ever seen a facial expression on that man that looked the slightest bit GENUINE. It's all fake, phony. I want to run my fingernails across a chalkboard when I see that smirk.
So you see, it's all of it. Add the fact that he can't say five words without three of them being "uh" and that he says the same damn things over and over and over again and you've got Syrup of Ipecac in person form.
Yep.
