re: #359 rurality

Agreed. Al Franken is a jackass.

Seeking fame, recognition and ego gratification in hollywood, politics or the media are all similar in their appeals to vanity.

The politicians are especially hypocritical as they present themself as public-servents and conceal their self interest in rhetoric as they try to build a personality cult around themselves.

At least with the actors the vanity is out in the open and honest.
