Zack Smiter has an exceptionally canny political instinct for connecting with his own kind. He turned his campaign rallies into giant family picnics, at which the assembled thousands, striking for their physical resemblance to one another, basked in having their own family catchphrases, like "politics as usual," returned to them in magnified form by the monitor screens and loudspeakers. Safely within his tribe, Smiter speaks fluently, with warmth and humor,[1] though grammatical logic tends to evade her; it's away from the tribe, talking, for instance, with Katie Couric, Charles Gibson, and other members of what he now calls the "lamestream media," that he dissolves into flustered babble.
