27. I enjoy the hell out of watching that guy pontificate, even when I don't agree with him.

He is NOT dull, and he doesn't hold back.

When people talk like people do when the lights and cameras are not on them, the "media" calls it "strange"--I say it's just "unvarnished."

He didn't say Grover should DROWN--he said he should slip and, presumably, fall. So he hits his head and gets hurt? Sounds like he's advocating eye-for-an-eye justice to me. Actually, I think he was referencing Grover's IDEAS, too...but context is often absent when people want to get outraged, as I am sure Grover's pals will do.
