*** While anyone is free to choose their own spokesperson, I submit the
following from www.dictionary.com, which tells me that many people
would prefer not to have a blowhard as their spokesman:
blow-hard
Pronunciation[bloh-hahrd]
?noun Slang.
an exceptionally boastful and talkative person.
[Origin: 1850?55, Americanism]
And given that, I would have to modify my statement that all of these
folks are in fact blowhards - just most of them ;-}
