The Excruciating BOREDOM of Andy Beshear

Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear thought it was a good idea to start a podcast. He must have noticed Gavin Newsom's podcast and thought it was the thing to do if you are a presidential contender. Wrong move! As you can see, all Beshear accomplished was to expose himself as a really really BORING person. His words are spoken in very carefully measured staccato portions chock full of ennui. Nothing about his personality shines at all since all he projects is the cold soul of a professional member of the Nomenklatura who dares not risk saying anything interesting for fear of stirring up possible controversy hazardous to his political health.

Beshear actually did have a couple of interesting guests. On his first podcast his guest was John Morgan a well known and colorful lawyer in Florida who was originally from Kentucky. Morgan, as usual, was quite interesting but every time Beshear interjected he sucked all the energy out of the room with his downbeat carefully measured speaking pattern.

On his third podcast, one of the guests was Beshear's own wife who came across as a bubbly, dare I say, INTERESTING character who was introduced in a segment about "Five Things You Didn't Know About Andy Beshear." I figured Beshear would relax talking with his own wife. I was wrong. Instead he came off as stiff and formal and careful as in the other podcasts. Somehow he made even the revelation that he mucked horse stalls boring. It actually is hard to make the topic of mucking horse stalls boring but somehow Beshear managed to do just that. Also revealed was that one of the highlights of his life was using patio furniture indoors. YAWN!
