‘Gravitas’
* Have you noticed how the word “gravitas” has become the description du jour for the prognostitutes on the political talk show circuit? “George W. brings gravitas to, etc.,” “Dick Cheney adds a level of gravitas to,” “Al Gore has the gravitas necessary to,” etc.
Do they think we think these candidates are clowns? Cheeese ‘n’ crackers!
