I think in today's world of politicians, someone with, at least perceived, integrity looks good, no matter his/her economic/social/foreign policies.

OK, well I guess I can go with that, so long as we understand that perceived integrity could never possibly ever be real integrity, or is it just if it manifests as combative and popular reform? It's been hard for me to keep things straight, of late. Some joker ejected me and my money changer friends from the temple the other day, and it's really messed up my head.

Playing the role of the combative populist reform politician is a lot like playing the face in kayfabe. Kiddies always fall for it with wide eyes of course...

So true. I have no doubt, even, that Kucinich hired the hit man himself.

Now now I didn't say that...

I'm sorry. I guess I'm so cynical I just assume EVERY reformer has to be playing a role.

Well, at least cynical is an antonym of idealistic.

Maybe, but it sure looks like here it's a synonym of Vic.
