Jeremy Paxman Fan #1

As a teenager I remember watching Jeremy Paxman on Newsnight.I liked his voice.He has a great presence on camera.He makes me laugh.How he challenges his interviewees and never backs down, just like my brothers, drives you around the bend.He turns political interviews into a spectator sport.His facial expressions convey such incredulity and contempt at every turn. Fine displays of mischievous- and he gets away with it.I miss him. Some of his best interviews include:
George Galloway with whom he asks "Mr Galloway,are you proud of having got rid of one of the very few black women in Parliament?
Former Home Secretary Michael Howard was asked 12 times "Did you threaten to overrule him?"
Condolezza Rice was asked "Does Donald Rumsfeld make you cry?"
and Former Leader of the Liberal Democrats Charles Kennedy was asked about his drink problem." Do you drink privately, by yourself a bottle of whiskey late at night?. This line of questioning was condemned at the time but proved prescient when Mr. Kennedy subsequently resigned over the issue.
