Totally stupid "I love that guy' thread

[Stinky The Clown]

Forget substance for a moment. Forget gender, too, even though I used 'guy' in my thread title.

What elected Democrat has a voice that you enjoy listening to?

I love Charlie Rangel. Easily the most distinctive voice in the house or senate.

Other favorites or mine, simply for their voices, are Barney Frank, Debbie Wasserman-Shultz, Maxine Waters, Bill Delahunt, and John Conyers.

Again ..... this is not in the least about substance. Who do you enjoy listening to?

1. Charlie just used Tucker like a Swiffer!

TC tried so hard to sell the "fight them there so we don't have to...." meme. Every which way he tried it, Charlie came back with his melodious sandpaper voice. I got a little worried that Charlie was going to have a stroke. He was getting pretty frustrated with Lil Tuck. But he came back every time and did us proud.

Edit: Add Leahy to the list of voices.

7. Isn't Charlie a vet?

What war has Tucker fought to "fight them there"?

Yep, I just looked on his website, Korean War, purple heart, bronze star.

Why do these Chickenhawks think they can win against experience? :shrug:

8. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

beautifully stated. I started a thread on the other ass whupping today. Michael Moore was stunning as he knocked Wolfie to the canvas. What a Monday. :D

17. Did I miss your thread?

Please tell me which forum. I'll go look!

2. Teddy Kennedy, Waxman, Conyers, for very different reasons.

Kennedy: love the Bahston accent
Waxman: reminds me of my accountant's voice
Conyers: very throaty and deep.

[NanceGreggs]

3. I agree with all of your choices ...

... especially Charlie Rangle having the most distinctive voice.

I LOVE to listen to Russ Feingold. It's not so much his actual voice, but the cadence of it - calm, measured, matter-of-fact, soothing.

4. Listening to Sen. Byrd makes me sad - sounds just like my late dad

I can close my eyes when he speaks and swear its my dad talking. Even looks a bit like he did.

[BlooInBloo]

6. Holy coincidence, Batman!

[BlooInBloo]

5. In addition to those mentioned, I like Byrd's southern-statesman voice...

... It's like a southern version of a British statesman sound.

[NanceGreggs]

9. Absolutely!!! n/t

[melody]

10. The very spirit of Barbara Jordan's voice drowns out them all for me n/t

[Stinky The Clown]

13. Now ya did it .....

She brought tears to my eyes more than once. She's in a class of her own.

[melody]

16. She not only had a voice, she had a vision

We lost so much when that great lady died. She almost made it to the Supreme Court, too -- only her health kept her from the nomination.

11. Are we ever on the same page! This is interesting.

Ted Kennedy.

Now the worst- Ted Stevens. Duke Cunningham. Jeff Sessions.



I think you're on to something. The voice is an important factor in our decision as to whether or not we like someone. At least I think so.

[BlooInBloo]

14. Not for me it isn't. I *loathe* the sound of Frank's voice...

... but the content of what he's saying is so awesome that I don't usually notice.

[Gregorian]

18. Oh yeah.

And Frank Sinatra had a great voice, and he was an ass. I wonder why he never ran for Congress. Hm.

[Stinky The Clown]

15. Did you ever see that series 'Dogfight' on History Channel?

There was one episode feature Duke Cunningham and his wingman talking about their exploits in Viet Nam. Even in that (which was a completely apolitical show) he was annoying to hear.

[Gregorian]

19. No, but I my imagination of his whining is frying my mind's eardrums.

I have to add that his last press conference was so whiny I actually felt sorry for him. That's the true power of a republican.

[tularetom]

22. Ted is great but when he talks all i can think of is

Mayor Quimby.

[Gregorian]

25. This is getting too obscure for me.

Oh. A South Park reference. Well, I'll have everyone here know that I do not watch South Park. I think it all comes back to voices again. I think the Bar Harbor accent is an acquired taste. Haha. :)

[monmouth]

12. I like the sound of Joe Biden, I realize he does too but.......n/t

[Sparkly]

20. I like listening to the New Englanders -- Dean, Kerry, Kennedy.

Talking about "Cawngress" and their "idears." :)

[Stinky The Clown]

23. That's why I originally listed Delahunt

I think he has the thickest New England accent.

His district includes part or all of Cape Cawd

[Sparkly]

24. YOU ah! nt

21. Dennis Kucinich singing

Sixteen Tons!
