Thought for the week - for the day - for the heck of it

I guess it's frustrating to people that leaders can be so different and still seem to lead . Baby Doc The Godfather Clinton, for all his failures, knew how to talk and he seemed like a leader. He commanded an audience and was and is an effective influencer of minds - he got his agenda done as well. Dubya Bush isn't a good speaker at all. He's awesome at moral clarity though and sticking to his guns - something The Baby Doc never had.

I was thinking, because of a discussion on the Wienerboard - (OK, the W - but it'll always be the Wienerboard to me) about Hulk Hogan and Triple HHH and their differences as the leaders of the Wrestling world for a long time. Like Dubya and the Baby Doc Godfather, Hulk and Trips are very different. Hogan was always Say your prayers, eat your Vitamins and he was The Man for a good 10 years and now, 20 years after he really became a star is probably still one of the best known Wrestlers (although the Rock is right in there now). Trips has already been on top about 7 or 8 years now, but he's about influence and maneuvering.

Like Trips and Hollywood Hogan, Clinton and Bush got to the top by different means. But can Dubya stay there? I want him to. I appreciate his spine in a spineless world. But there's another part to the story of Hogan and Trips. When Hogan finally fell off the top, he became a bad guy, like Trips to get back on top.

Does that mean good guys can't be on top anymore, at least not for long?

Hello, John F'n Kerry if that's true. Ugh!
