Jimmy is an intolerably boorish young man. His rear planted firmly in his easy chair, he spouts ironically muscular, violent language, insulting everyone and everything he can. McPartland's looks--his long hair and sideburns, unathletic body, and snide, lazy expression--are well suited to the role. But the actor's line delivery is bogged down by Jimmy's endless, easy-chair-bound monologues: McPartland rushes his lines and slips into droning recitation. This problem fades as the play progresses; as Jimmy's interactions with other characters increase, McPartland's performance shows more and more energy...
Buckley's tobacco peddlers come off no better morally than their subpoenaed real-life counterparts, but they do have more charm. In contrast, the book's politicians and anti-smoking crusaders are boorish. Readers will feel superior as they chortle through Buckley's gallery of rotters and Puritans.

The Alpha Male embodies most of the same characteristics: he is loud, blockheaded, ill-mannered, boorish, rude, undereducated and dipsomaniacal. Not all "jocks" (that is, recruited athletes) are Alpha Males, and though most Alpha Males are recruited athletes, this is not always the case. The term Alpha Male refers to the species' mating prerogative; despite his simian qualities, the Alpha Male is a woman magnet. In any case, the rest of the herd is consigned to the status of beta-male...
