He started acting in the later '70's.
I figure just by looking at him that he's got a flaw - one carried by many of the current crop of viable candidates and that flaw is - he's just too dang old.
Sorry. I know we need mature - but there's just something about someone in that age-range that seems okay straight off but four and five years into office, they reach that "out of touch" age - ... "dang it, quick-as-a-whip but just one-step off the porch" - age. No longer the brightest pea in the patch.
That's scary. Sort of reminds me of current president.
If we keep working these actors over - remaking them as politicians - I can see a day when every man, woman and child in the US of A will have a guaranteed 15-minutes of fame ... van comes by ... government-seal ... cameras ... broadcast to the 5 billion TV sets ... fame. I've decided I'm waiting for a football player. Quarterback, preferably. Tired of voting for lawyers and actors. |
C'mon, Odie...age expectancy has risen a few years, it's all good.
80 years old is the new 50! A quarterback, eh? What is Troy Aikman up to these days?
