"Gravitas."

I send a lot of time on the road, and I used to listen to Rush when he was funny. One thing he did point out during George W's first campaign was how democrats would work out talking points for their people before the Sunday morning talk shows. I had never heard the word "gravitas" before but Rush played a montage from the interviews after W had picked Cheney as his running mate. Every single Democrat Party spokesperson said Bush chose Cheney to bring some gravitas to the campaign.

That's where that word came from. I had heard it multiple times but always forgot to look it up.

Also:

I totally get that. I listen to Alex Jones a few hours/day while driving. If the guy wasn't funny (intentionally or not) I'd not listen to him. It's quality entertainment
