HE DOES NOT HAVE TO BE THIS WAY

Why should the self-promoter-in-extreme, most popular host on cable television for what -- 15 years or is it 51? -- act so cocky? Does he not know we can see through him? For instance, he has on his show many persons who already work for his channel. But who are they? Well, the females are, it seems, the most beautiful bottle blondes on the staff. One of them was Miss America. Sure, they have to be smart. Several have law degrees, perhaps all of them do.  
But what about the men from the same staff whom he chooses for his show? Do you ever see darling Bret Baier on this cocky guy's show? Or handsome Brit Hume? Or gorgeous James Rosen? Seldom, if at all. I mean, there in person at the next seat at the table, like the women. (Of course, with his chair lower than the cocky guy's chair. Yes, I know the cocky guy's height.) The ones he usually picks are less handsome than he himself. Some are brilliant. But in this part of the country, however, one has the reputation of being a wife-beater, his first wife. I don't know if that is true, but it came from a reliable source. I did not like to see this man join this channel, from another channel perhaps. The one really good male choice he made was to use Charles Krauthammer once a week, a man both handsome and brilliant. But he could not ignore Krauthammer, could he now? Perhaps some of his fame might rub off onto the cocky guy. Then when this cocky man takes a day off, and has a male substitute for his show, he is likely less handsome than the cocky one. The usual female sub is great and also beautiful. 

What a psychological study!  This cocky man has many traits to admire. He is a huge success. So, why does he have to be this way? It belittles him.
