Rock Star Politicians


The media trend nowadays is to refer to some politicians as rock star politicians.

It has to do, I guess, with their popularity, their ability to attract a crowd.

The term almost always precedes any mention of The Clintons


- both Bubba

and the Beast,





 


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
and Barky Obama, 

though not Joe Biden nor John McCain.

Some words I associate with rock star: arrogant, temperamental, self-indulgent, ego-maniacal.

Do any of these sound like they could
be applied to Hilly, Billy and Barky?

Quite frankly, I would rather have people elected to make laws, to face off with Putin and fight (fight, not negotiate) terrorism be described as: capable, competent, trustworthy, honest.

But that's just my opinion.
