A soggy brown paper bag

NPR ran a story last week where they asked listeners to describe the voices of famous people. So for example, Marlon Brando:

An itch that shouldn't be scratched in public ... but is — Daphne Case

A keynote speaker perpetually on the verge of a sneeze — Sky Chamberlain

Stamford's resident weiny, Joe Lieberman, was on the list and here are the listeners impressions of his oratory:

A flat tire on a Segway — Greg Pyne

A soggy brown paper bag — Tess Wilson

A turtle standing on a stack of telephone books — Tim Rossiter

A grease stain on a new silk blouse — Susan Edwards

Max White [the father character on the TV show Alf] reprimanding Alf for trying to eat the family cat, Lucky — Jami Dennis

The straining engine of a previously owned Yugo — Dave Airozo

An exhausted math teacher who needs to explain what a square is for the Nth time —Nicholas Freidin

A person suggesting we form another committee to look into a "mission statement" after a two-hour meeting — Dina Borzekowski

The fine, boring, important print in your insurance policy — Susan Kunkel

Ben Stein being smothered with a pillow by Ralph Nader — Laura Hooning

A dog's squeak toy after the squeak has been removed — Matt Underwood

The cowardly lion's petite weaselly, older brother — Dawn Francher

A discarded banana peel — Michael Daukrof

Like Gumby and Pokey were his speech therapists — Tina Biege

I'll add to that mine:

The awkward moment after your great aunt makes an out of touch, borderline offensive comment at Thanksgiving dinner.
