Yes Cindy really really hates being held accountable for his own comments. He considers it trolling.

For example:

"TheWho" - you are clearly a very disturbed individual. It's shameful that you would attempt to belittle and degrade the experience of an individual(s) of which you have no first hand knowledge or interaction. You obviously take pleasure in being a cyber-bully (probably because you're a weak person whom one one respects in real life). So what's your agenda? Is it to attack teens/young adults so you can feel better about yourself? Take a good look at yourself because you are a disgraceful, hateful person.

Dear Evan: Someone just recently wrote a column about Senator Robert Dole's propensity to refer to himself not as "I" or "me" but as "Bob Dole." There must be a name for someone who does this. I am familiar with the editorial "we" -- which some wag said should only be used by royalty, newspaper editors, or persons with parasitic infestation -- but didn't realize there might be a word that describes one who refers to himself in the third person, or I suppose by his own name, as Dole does continuously. Is his use of his own name the same as using the third person and does this qualify him as an "illeist"? That word is hard to find except in the Oxford English Dictionary or Latin dictionaries but describes one who makes much use of the pronoun "he," or writes of himself as "he." -- George Bower, via the internet.

 I must admit that I haven't been paying as much attention to the presidential campaign as I probably should have been, relying as I do for my current affairs updates on a combination of tea leaves and conversations overheard on the subway. I do try to read the daily newspaper, of course, but my parakeet gets in the way.

In any case, I wasn't aware of Senator Dole's odd habit, possibly because I had become so used to the Republican candidates referring to each other in the remote-as-possible third person that I simply failed to notice that one of them was doing it to himself. As a name for someone who habitually refers to him- or herself in the third person, "illeist" (from the Latin "ille," meaning "he" or "that man") seems to fill the bill. Illeism, a term coined in the early 19th century, is usually considered an affectation of bad writers, but I think we can safely include almost all politicians in that category.

It'll be interesting to see if that article you mention prompts Senator Dole's handlers to insist that he knock it off. As a rhetorical device, this sort of thing works once or twice, but after a while you begin to remind the voters of either Tarzan or Miss Piggy, neither of whom has a particularly good track record at the polls.

Deborah, not sure who Evan is but I think I may be able to shed some light on this.  This seems like an old question.  Dole initially received a lot of attention (negative at first) for referring to himself as “Dole” and the attention actually helped his numbers during his run for the presidency in the early 1990’s.  It was an odd habit but others had referred to themselves in this manner, Julius Ceasar, Stalin (I think) and the author of the “Time Machine” (H.G.Wells) would refer to himself as” the Writer” (this may or may not be accurate, it’s a half memory).  Anyway he was well aware of it and in fact was invited and appeared on “Saturday night live” in the mid 1990’s to lampoon this idiosyncrasy of his (after he lost the election), which he did with great pleasure.  They have parodied him on Family Guy and the Simpson’s also I believe over the years.  It a peculiar habit but fairly benign, some people find it annoying but most get a good chuckle out of it.
He still does it to this day and you can see the little smirk on his face afterwards.

Deborah:
FALL OUT.........
Shed some light on why you speak of yourself in third person. Are you truly kinda out of touch, or just a manipulator?
