If he does well they'll say he underperformed because for someone who's an actor he should be so much better in front of cameras; if he does poorly they'll say he should stick to acting.

Of course, he came to acting long after he'd already had a career in law, but the MSM have some truly bizarre, elitist ideas about work. I've never been able to figure out how DeLay being a former exterminator was the subject of jokes. The MSM are a bunch of preppy wimps who like their workers downtrodden and far away from them. They don't LIKE the people they supposedly champion, and find the idea of non-journalistic or non-political work distasteful and suspicious.

"It is not the critic who counts . . . the credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena - Theodore Roosevelt

Journalists don't agree with that, because they are the ones who do nothing but talk - and who promote themselves by tearing down the "doers" with criticism and second guessing. Journalists promote big government, and simultaneously attack the police and the military mercilessly even though they are sine qua non for government. And the reason is that journalists can't stand for anyone to get credit for actually doing something. To them, the credit belongs only to the critic.
