I’m sorry but the main thing I’m getting from Chevy Chase in this Washington Post video interview is “feeble, doddering, no longer sharp.” The water-dribbling-onto-the-T-shirt isn’t a bit — it’s an old guy whose physical coordination skills aren’t what they used to be. Chase is only 75, but he looks and sounds like he’ll be ready for assisted living in a couple of years. Hurt, angry, defensive. I’m sorry to say this but look at him, listen to him. His voice sounds a bit hazy and groggy — it doesn’t have that timbre, that snap any more. He needs to lose at least 75 or 80 pounds and go to Prague for some hair work.
