actors make great politicians…
Thursday, 13. August 2009

Actors are good looking, charming, and charismatic with name recognition; maybe this is why people always look to actors to be politicians. I guess Sonny Bono did an okay job with Palm Springs? I don’t think it’s hard to manage old people, gay people and golfers. Reagan… eh? Some people liked him; California’s not doing all that fantastic under Schwarzenegger; Jesse Ventura wasn’t much of an actor; Al Franken’s movie sucked, and he’s ugly and smells funny…
Anyway, Brad Pitt has stolen the hearts of New Orleans and they want he to be the mayor; he helped to build a couple homes, not really that many when you think of how many were destroyed. But hey, that’s more than I’ve ever done for that city. I bought a lot of those “show me your tits” beads one time (those beads come from there, right? There or Taiwan, either way). Well, I threw them at some chicks – they didn’t take their tops off, though, and I wasn’t able to go to the office during an internal “investigation,” really just a formality; management needs to show the ladies in the office that they care… blah, blah. You know how those dames can get.
This story was interesting to me because the news is that there isn’t any news. They do a whole story about how Brad Pitt is not going to run for mayor. He never said he was thinking about it; some guy made a funny list about reasons why Pitt should be the Mayor of New Orleans. And now people have are making T-Shirts that read “Pitt For Mayor.” So of course, the media has to do a story about how well liked Brad Pitt is. Here’s the list – it’s not even that funny.
I like Pitt’s response, “That’s not what I do best.” Because we all know what he does best: he pretends to be people he’s not for millions of dollars, and he bangs Angelina Jolie.
