I have found that, in person, Tony does not seem to be as much bigger 
than life as his wife makes him out to be.  I think he owes about 99.9% 
of his popularity to her.  I've met both of them a few times and he 
really doesn't make much of a permanent impression.  Also have seen him 
on several news programs / political debates and thought Tony could be 
interchanged with the cute announcerette for the job of holding the 
potted plant that makes up the background of those thrown-together ad 
hoc proggies.

But, getting to lie next to Inoue Mao .... now THAT is interesting ...
