So I'm going to try to make this make sense, but I'm pretty tired so this might be really disjointed. Stick with me, I think I have a point.
Today one of our salesmen came by and took a few of us purchasers to lunch. One of the other assistants had never met him before, although she's spoken with him on the phone repeatedly. I guess he didn't look like she was expecting, she mentioned that's not how she pictured him.
Tonight I got home and had a new copy of The Nation waiting for me. On the back is an ad for this new book I want to get Playing President: “My Close Encounters with Nixon, Carter, Bush I and Clinton--and How They Did Not Prepare Me for George W. Bush” by Robert Scheer. Scheer is a panelist on KCRW's brilliant Left, Right & Center and runs TruthDig.com.
Anyway, I listen to the podcast of Left, Right & Center every week, and I was listening this morning when I wondered "What does Robert Scheer look like?"
So on this ad for his book there's a photo of him. And it looks nothing like I assumed.
At this point I'd direct you to download a podcast of Left, Right & Center so you can follow along.
Here's the photo of Scheer:

See, I always thought that Robert Scheer sounded like Richard Schiff who plays Toby Ziegler on the West Wing. Kind of the Bronx Jewish thing going on.
So I pictured him like:
Richard Schiff
And then there's Tony Blankley, the Republician on the show, who's also the Editorial Page Editor of the Washington Times and the author of "The West's Last Chance: Will We Win the Clash of Civilizations?" (Can you guess which side HE'S on?)
Here he is:
Tony Blankley
But because he's British and a bad guy and somewhat heavy sounding, I thought he would look like Glenn Shadix - Otho from Beetlejuice:
Glenn Shadix
And since everyone knows what Ariana Huffington looks like:
Ariana Huffington
That only leaves Matt Miller:
Matt Miller
Oddly, I never gave this much though, so I'll just post a drawing of Matt Murdock - the alter ego of Daredevil, since they're both generic white guys named "Matt":
Matt Murdock
So does this all make sense?
Maybe you have to be a listener of Left, Right & Center to get it?
Maybe I just made you a listener? It really is an interesting show. Especially if you imagine these people as the voices ...
