How about Paul Frees (sadly he’s dead too) but didn’t he have the “voice of authority”?
(Remember the Talking Rings in the “Time Machine”?)
And I’m surprised no one’s mentioned the SDMB’s favorite voice* - Alan Rickman.
Compare his style of speech to I don’t know … Dubya? Heh, heh, heh. 
*Yes, I know it’s not an official poll result but he usually rates quite well on these boards.

I agree. In fact, on voice alone, only Obama and Huckabee (and maybe Thompson and Edwards) were at all tolerable out of all the candidates. In further fact, they’re all really only three voices.
Chriss Dodd stepped up one octave equals Mitt Romney stepped up one octave plus “my friends” equals John McCain.
Dennis Kucinich minus one octave equals Hillary Clinton minus one octave (on a good day) equals Ron Paul.
Giuliani speaks like W without the “folksy” “southern” “charm”. Add it back in and you get Edwards, and drop it an octave and you get Thompson.

Holy crap, that is one of the funniest things I have seen in a long time – in that really morbid, depressing sort of funny (which of course just makes it that much funnier). Leader of free world, and total fucking doofus. At least I can believe he is genuinely being himself (as sad as it is for him). I can actually see HRC doing something similar when her likeability module calculates it to be expedient.

Actually, they have. I think On the Media (a great NPR show that’s on at funky times on the weekend) did a piece comparing his debates against Ann Richards and those against Gore and Kerry.
Maybe I’ll dig it up and we can hear for ourselves.

Yeah dig that sucker up. The contrast is actually pretty concerning. He was pretty sharp once upon a time.

We’re not ready for a woman in the White House now, what makes you think we’ll be ready in 72 years?

Keep doing those crossword puzzles, kids. :eek:
Where’s Vincent Price now that we need him? Now there was a presidential voice!
