it all away with his hardline craziness.

His English language skills are impeccable (those years in public school in Pennsylvania and at MIT, etc. in Boston will do that I guess)--he can converse in both US and British vernacular, down to slang. He is a handsome fellow; he looks good on TV. He can project a real earnestness that is initially compelling.

Thing is, though, when people see all the crazy crap spewing out of his mouth, all of the gains he had earned from his conversational skills, good looks and easy mannerisms just go out the window.

He LOOKS reasonable, but he talks like a flipping KOOK.
