Sadly, they equate Timmy to Calvin Coolidge under the "boring" label. Writers could have been more creative than that. The ole boring thing is only funny when the Onion does it with far more humor and flair.

Robinson is matched with Eisenhower as a straight talking, military man.

I never think of Duncan as "boring." I think of him as "doesn't enjoy talking to dumb people."

If you look back, Coolidge was actually pretty fascinating and while a man of a few words, used them wisely. One of the more underrated presidents if you ask me. Didn't read the article but wonder who got tagged with Nixon, Andrew Johnson or James Buchanan.
