Why does Thom Hartmann drop his voice or go to a gravely pitch.

[Prodemsouth]

Mike Malloy does the same but it is when he is talking for Conservatives. He just did it with "Corporate Welfare" Thom will do it with any part of the word and he is indescrimate when does it. Very annoying and it makes it hard to listen to his otherwise good show.

1. I think it's mocking Darth Cheney

Remember his SRO Peace, Love and Happiness Tour?

"uh...if you, uh...don't vote correctly...we're, uh... gonna get hit...and, uh...hit hard..."

Just a guess.

2. He needs to talk to Al Franken - he does the Cheney impression very

well. He does not sound like Cheney- but kind of like Yosemite Sam from the Bugs Bunny cartoons. When Mike Malloy does it sounds ok because he is talking for conservatives. Thom slips in to this voice at anytime talking about anything.

3. Hmmm

will listen closer when I get in the car...
Yes, Al's Cheney is very good. It makes me smile.
