Ain't they the same?
Reading this latest piece by Charley Reese (I know, I refer to him a lot. But he is one of my fav Americans these days), I just thought of an interesting similarity between George Bush and "the mayor" in Spin City. They both, Bush and the mayor character, seem to be likeable human beings. However, how should I put this, they are both not smart enough(kind of stupid) for the job they have!! They both are surrounded by people who do their work such as writing speeches, deciding what to do on different matters, fixing up the mess they both make, etc etc etc. But here comes the difference: Bush has a combination of neo-cons/morons/attached-to-big-corporations individuals, but "the mayor" actually has wise people around him. well ok, only the deputy mayor is the wise guy, but that seems to be enough. And I know, Spin City is just a TV show and could be far for reality, but the similarities are just interesting to me. You also may say all politicians have people around them who do their jobs, but I simply don't agree with that. Anyways, that's all for now...
