+362 Want to know why most politicians suck? It's because all of the smart, creative people go on to become doctors, lawyers, scientists, artisans, activists and philosophers. Whatever's left either drops out or runs for office, amirite?

Actually there are a lot of well educated politicians, maybe not on the Republican side... but there certainly a lot on the Democratic side :D

I just spent 6 months working for a Republican politician. He isn't perfect, but he is one of the smartest people I've ever met. Yes, he used to be a lawyer, but he definitely was not a scumbag. In fact, the Democrat who won the election is a total douche bag idiot.
