There's a poll near the bottom of this page that you can vote for the worst celebrity public speaker. . . Ed is one of the choices. Ouch.

    I voted for Ed, just for the fun of it.

    It's a stupid pole anyway.

    I can't believe George W didn't make the list. Hands down the worst public speaker I have ever heard.

    Two reasons

    1. I don't think he is popular enough to qualify as a celebrity.

    2. That would be too easy ..

    Absolutely true !

    And I recently went to a screening of A Bronx Tale where Deniro and Palmentieri did a Q & A. Chaz did most of the talking, but when Bobby D. spoke, he was just fine...thank you very much. As for Ed, he does "uhhh" a lot, but it comes from his uhhhh heart.

    What a strange cast of characters for him to be lumped in with, Paris Hilton? Anna Nicole Smith? Seriously?

    I totally disagree. I have found his speeches are always captivating and memorable. He has great comic timing and really speaks from the heart. Crazy to put him on that list and not Bush. Guess the website doesnt want to upset man at top.

    I think all of you are seriously misunderestimating President Bush's public speaking ability.

    Ed uses a lot of "umms," during shows, but his REM, Neil Young, and Ramones HOF speeches were very good.

    I was just going to mention that...and aren't those largely the only public speeches he's given? Weird, dumb poll.
