Eh.  Legislative bodies in commonwealth countries make it compulsory--or at least "traditional"--to wear powdered wigs.  What's UNDER the ugly hat is, I suspect, far more problematic in this case.  But the trend of electing entertainers to public office isn't really new.  It began with Reagan.  Problem is these entertainers' talents have degraded since then--and the starting point wasn't all that high to begin with.

Now we have a "reality TV star" in the White House.  From "silver screen" to "boob-tube".  If the goal is to make the US political process irrelevant for anything other than distracting the mouth-breathers and keeping 'em off the streets, we're going the right way about it.

"Bread and circuses" without much bread.
