All pols are BSers/posers, some like Bill Clinton has it down to a science, the biting of the lower lip, the thumbs up, the head and body movement. He makes it seeming natural, it's why everyone likes him as a pol even if they hate him.

But all the cool in the world can't overcome political demographics.

Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats. H. L. Mencken
