He comes across as an arrogant twit who gets all superior-acting, nasty, and sarcastic when people disagree with him.
Also, that "thank you" bit to those who serve(d) in the armed forces comes across as self-centered, like they're doing it for him.
He lost me when Jeannie Garafaolo (?) lost her show for vociferous disagreement with partial birth abortion, and his statements were that it's his job to do his thing and not to stick his neck out for others.

Superior-acting and nasty is absolutely right. Severin, in his effort to whore himself to a national market, tried come across as an independent thinker who wasn't afraid to trash the President. But when it turned out he wasn't the next David Brudnoy, he stuck to what he does best...sarcastically trashing anyone who disagrees with him.
Adios.
