The best interpretation of the analogy is:
He speaks well but doesn’t mean what he says.
This is reflected in the comparison of his convictions to "balloons" that are "pretty and shiny on the outside" but "nothing but hot air on the inside," implying that while he may be able to articulate his thoughts attractively, those thoughts lack substance or sincerity.
