Don't forget Heath Schuler in North Carolina, former football QB at University of Tennessee.
Or John Hall of New York, who was a member of the 70s music group Orleans ("Dance with Me," "Love Takes Time," "Still the One.")
Don't forget that one of the most popular presidents was an actor by profession.
And for that matter, he was also President of the Screen Actors Guild, and thus our only President who was also leader of a labor union.
(would today's GOP even give such a figure with such a background a chance in the national arena? I'm certain Anne Coulter wouldn't have approved of him.)
The comic isn't a congressman - he's a Senator!
True but he was elected to a house of Congress, so just a difference of terminology. Besides they're all jokers if you ask me.
One of the great things about America is that we get to choose who we want to represent us and that those who do represent us are drawn from all components of the Nation's population.
We are very lucky in that regard, and that really adds dimensions when you see people elsewhere around the world get the shit beaten out of them or imprisoned or murdered just because they publicly say they want that
right.
