Reply #18: Because they would have to hang out with politicians who , in my limited experience with them,

[old mark]

are just as bad in real life as they are on TV....In fact they try to look GOOD for their public appearances, so what you see is their idea of being a good person.

The few politicians I have met were shallow, ego driven spoiled children without exception. They were not concerned about much but their own satisfaction. They make actors look like mature human beings.

They are also mostly clever but not really very smart, with few exceptions.
