Therein lies a big part of our problem. Being in public office, or anything having to do with government should NOT be glamorous - including reporting on it. James Carville once made the elitist comment ‘Drag $100 through a trailer park and you never know what you'll find’. Well, drag a microphone or a TV camera through DC and you will have an incessant supply of narcissists, bottom feeders, and wannabes.
‘Being in public office, or anything having to do with government should NOT be glamorous’
saying that power should not be glamorous to the human psyche is like saying water shouldn’t be wet...a complete and utter impossibility...
