ezelisk 0 Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 I really hope this is some sad, sadistic joke that he is using to gain public attention. Maybe he will wear his trademark sunglasses to the debate so the other canidates can't get a read on him. Link to post Share on other sites
scram 1 Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 It's the delusion of "importance" that some people are afflicted by whenever they find themselves in the limelight. They believe that because they're more well known than the common man for whatever reason (TV star, Donald Trump, poker player, Paris Hilton), that makes them more important, thus things like the presidency and various political matters should be their oyster. It's why Hollywood actresses genuinely believe that the world should listen to their opinions on Darfour.It's what causes poker players to consider running for the Presidency.It's such an ugly personality trait, but at the same time, it's so entertaining. Their complete lack of self-awareness as they plug forward into territory that they're totally unqualified to handle is just amusing as hell to watch. Link to post Share on other sites

It reminds me of the line from "The War Room" documentary when James Carville was watching Ross Perot dancing to "I'm Crazy" after losing the election and said...."That could be the single most expensive act of masturbation in the history of this country".
