Over the weekend I watched Limitless. I thought it was an okay movie but it left me melancholic for all those little tidbits of information which are misfiled in the labyrinth that’s my brain. And then I heard that Scott Brown is a likeable guy. “A guy you would love to have a beer with.” And I thought; “tidbit! Where have I heard that before?”
BUSHit!---Gesundheit.
George W. Bush is also another guy who won the hearts, minds and unfortunately votes of those who pick their leaders according to their beer face. And we all know where that got us. Why is a beer face mistaken for charisma for these people? If I went with this notion, I’d be looking for Justin Timberlake or DJ Pauly D to run for public office.
Am I misunderstanding this? Do I have to replace “beer” with “wine” or “cognac” or “champagne?” I’d share a glass of Shiraz with President Obama. In proclaiming so, have I now become an elitist, wine drinking leftist and missed the beer face point?
Personally, I want an overachieving bookworm, preferably with some military experience in my local, state and federal political offices. When we have regular guys who look like our beer buddies then we’re asking for our government to be run like a frat house. If this is what Scott’s appeal is all about, then I understand the seesawing polls swaying between him and Elizabeth Warren. But can we afford another beer faced politician? America, please prove my Poli Sci Professor wrong, please show him the electorate is not stupid.
