What¹s the story with actors going into politics in the US...when did this
start...why..?...what¹s the drive...?...yet, they don¹t make commercials for
Œnormal¹ products and yet they (all the big movie stars) make thousands of
commercials for products in other countries from Euro to Japan, from
Argentina to Russia...but there are not many actors from Œother countries¹
going into Œpolitics (if you call Œgovernor¹ politics...that is, as opoosed
to business...) in their own countries...????
Any crime stories dealing with that whole...questions???....maybe a useless
search...? maybe re-reading John Le Carré would be enough????
Montois....puzzled and becoming more depoliticized by the minute...
