I just flipped on CSPAN and saw a Qand A with a gal named Palmieri the veep of COMMUNICATIONS for some group called the Center for Amercan Progress?

Why do people insist on speaking in front of a group and when they improvise they cannot speak with out doing the Ummm and Uhhhhs?


This drives me friggin bonkers. You can tell that they are trying to give an answer that is PC and won't make them look stupid when in fact their ummms and ahhhs just add to the effect!

When they get to a question that they are pre programmed to answer they can recite it verbatim-because they practiced it many times over-

One question was about McCain -she was able to verbalize exactly what was wrong with his candidacy -same with BO's wonderful run. But asked specific questions about BO she began to stutter and back into the "he wants change' spiel. The other direct answer was about how JM wanted to raise taxes but she could not give a good answer, sans umms and ahhs, regarding BO's tax plan.


If they only knew how much of a turn off they are when they stumble thru answering questions or giving speeches!
