Entertainers are paid to entertain us. Politicians are paid to lead. Huge difference. By your definition, there's no difference between George Clooney and George Bush (either of them). By mine, there quite a gap, and one that either one would agree with me.
And JJ - Mondale was one of the ones I was thinking of when I wrote my first post in this thread.
