2. What the hell does gravitas mean? Is it a non-English word?

[Craig Roberts]

4. It ain't in my dictionary. n/t

[Philostopher]

5. It's Latin.

probably for 'ponderous' or 'leviathan' or something.

Okay, actually I'm kidding -- it means seriousness of carriage/mien. He looks like a serious person, in other words.

From the same root as 'gravity' -- which, as we all know ... sucks.

6. In his case it means: grumpy old man

In other cases, it might describe a person of great wisdom who should be taken seriously.

In his case it means he is old and has a lot of government experience. He could even say: "Rumsfeld and I knew Saddam before he was a threat, you know, before we sold him all those weapons."

3. He behaves with great dignity?

Or at least extremely painful and debilitating?

a good bowl movement and the pained look on his face will be gone.

[Demoiselle]

14. Is it contagious? (nm)

10. Cheney has borborygmy

[stevedeshazer]

11. He's also an EXCELLENT debater

He will kick Edwards ass because of his enormous gravitas, which approaches the level of black hole, where even light cannot escape.

I hope Edwards is prepared to be gravitassed.
