Is it me or has anyone noticed the arrival of real estate agents on the political and punditry scene?
In a recent election in my town I think three real estate agents ran for mayor or a council seat. On a local radio show, the host regularly brings on an agent to discuss issues of the day - why I have no idea. Terrible stuff escapes her mouth.
Real estate agents are the new darlings. Times are good for agents and they're willing to splash their cash around. And what better way to expose themselves than on the political or radio scene to gain more clients and inside scoops?
Good grief.
Real estate agents, those noted collectors of historical memory and intellectual discourse, for comments, will now help to form public opinion. No offense.
None have impressed me. They're more personality - sell, sell, sell! - than intellectual substance. On a scale how much higher are they from car salesmen?
"Intellectualism? We don't need no stinkin' intellectualism for ratings!" cries one producer.
Apparently.
