...cameras. His utter inability to extend that emotion outward leads him to make up stories, which he then tells in slow motion, to seem more real. In the process, he ends up seeming less so. It's not sincerity he lacks, it's the insincerity to fake sincerity in a league with Reagan. It leaves him speaking so remotely that we can't feel a word he's saying...

And Primary Colors tells the story of an idealistic political aficionado seduced into...

I'm a very corny person, and if I'm learning one song, it will have to be the corniest possible chestnut. At first I think I'll go with My Funny Valentine, then decide I don't want the single piece in my repertoire to sound sad. Well, that, and the chords are too hard. I settle on one of my favorite Sinatra songs, Rodgers and Hart...
