Everytime I see him on a telecast, I swear he's drunk or darn near. Does he not realize that he sounds like an idiot?

I just said this on another forum -- I'm not sure why people keep accusing him of being "drunk".

I think he is just not well-suited to live interviews. And so I'm not sure why they keep putting him into a situation he's clearly not comfortable with.

Live TV just doesn't seem to be his cup of tea.

He's never been very good, but he seems far worse this year. I was wondering if he has had some health issues, can't seem to string anything together.

Taped radio pieces?

I was gonna say I don't think he's drunk but they do call him "Hammerin' Hank" don't they? hmmm... Nah I think he's so nervous in front of a live broadcast that he holds his breath. If you watch, it's like he forgets to breathe and every so often his body tries to make him breathe whether he likes it or not. The nerves mess with his articulation I'm sure.

you'd think they would work with the guy, if they want him on tv, least they could do is make him somewhat comfortable.
