41. Joe Trippi seems to have trouble relating to other people
Edited on Mon Feb-07-05 03:29 PM by sfexpat2000
He seems to have massive trouble attending to others and also in speaking clearly.

Why anyone would hire him to run a campaign is something I just don't understand.

And, I'm not saying this out of any kind of malice. My own partner has very similar troubles and needs 24/7 handling. And he's been percieved as a "jerk" too, by people who don't know him. He often blurts out remarks that are innapropriate to the situation, and doesn't really grasp little interactions like proxemics or other social gestures very well, as many somewhat autistic people do.

He would sit next to you at a barbeque and never talk to you because the place where those gestures come from is simply blank in his brain. And if you got upset with him about it, he'd be really surprised : )

Trippi reminds me a lot of my hubby. Smart in the head, 'way not smart with people.
