I finally figured out who Tom Tancredo's voice sounds like:

[bleever]

Spalding Gray.

No kidding.

Note: of the two, I really liked Spalding Gray.

1. RIP Spalding

[bleever]

2. He was great.

It was just a weird thing, trying to figure out whose voice I was reminded of.

[Patsy Stone]

3. Poor Spalding

And, oddly, to me, Tancredo sounds Jewish.

[bleever]

4. Bless his heart.

Spalding's, of course.

Tancredo would be LUCKY to be Jewish. But he's neither.

[Patsy Stone]

9. Nope. He's just crazy Tom Tancredo.

[Blue-Jay]

5. How does one "sound Jewish"?

Does he say "oy" a lot or something?

[Patsy Stone]

7. No, not as far as I can tell.

But as a Jew, I have noticed there is a speech pattern common among my people; a cadence if you will. Sometimes, a New York Italian can fool me, but they're only a Jesus apart from Jews anyway, so I hardly think it's my faux pas.

6. I sure don't get that!

He sounds like an old moneyed WASP. Not that he is, but maybe that's what he aspires to be.

[Patsy Stone]

8. I said "oddly".

And I meant it.

[bleever]

10. I didn't think that was intended as a compliment; more an abberation.

That's what I thought; did you?

[Patsy Stone]

11. It was not intended as a compliment

It is indeed aberrant, and I think I hijacked your thread. Sorry. :)
