Why Do Actors Keep Becoming Presidents?

[ElectroPhysics]

Why are fools so sure of themselves and the wise so full of doubts?

This is a thread to ask why.

Here's one on my mind lately considering Arnolds threat to run as President.

If conservatives hate liberal Hollywood types, then why do they keep making Presidents out of actors?

Quite simple: put-up-or-shut-upism: while other actors simply whine, Arnold (and Ronnie) actually ran for office. If Martin Sheen ever decided to run for office, I still would think he's a kook, but at least he'd be a relevant kook.

Democrats like to talk, Republicans like to do. So my question: why don't Democratic actors ever do?

Why am I so sure of myself then?
