Some years ago Hollywood made a fairly bad movie called “Dave” starring Kevin Kline. IIRC the plot was that the president (typical sort of Washington guy — played by Kevin Kline) was out of commission (health?) and the power brokers didn’t want to admit it, so they found a guy who looked like the president (hardware shop owner — played by Kevin Kline).

The fake guy was supposed to just be there for photo ops but pretty soon he was trying to run the government like a hardware store. Didn’t waste money. Didn’t spend money he didn’t have. Treated people like customers and not like peasants. Followed the rules.

I believe at the end of the movie, the guy with business experience in the real world is able to reveal the deep corruption of Washington and ushers in a new era where law-breaking by the political elite is no longer tolerated.

Hollywood loved “Dave”. It was wise and wonderful and showed that working class people like Dave (*cough* Democrats) were so much smarter and more moral than Washington DC Political Elitists (*cough* Republicans).

Of course, today the shoe is on the other foot and the corruption is being exposed, and Hollywood doesn’t like it so well.
