I love guys like this, or at the very least, we need more like him. They remind me of Rosie, who snuck into a marathon race right near the finish line and crossed it first, much to the consternation of all those righteous, super-competitive runners grunting and huffing behind her. I only wish she would have gotten away with it.
There is something about the ambitious zeal of politicians, businessmen, lawyers, generals, managers and similar "A" personalities I find very suspicious and threatening. Sure, I agree we need leaders and go-getters like this to get things done, but the vast majority of those with this personality disorder are not motivated by a desire to accomplish something, but by a desire to be the ones who get credit for accomplishing something. There is a difference.
TB's got it right. Everyone who wants to be a politician should be immediately disqualified from the job. For every George Washington there are way too many Aaron Burrs.
