Somehow I’m reminded of the movie The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance.
Set in the fading days of the old west with territories becoming
states and deciding who to elect as their representatives. Should it
be Jimmy Stewart the righteous lawyer, or Lee Marvin the outlaw gang
leader? The old fashioned idea that you sent the brightest and best
educated person to Washington to represent you. Hah! Politicians are
not held in great esteem today, and we would probably vote for Liberty
Valance. I assume everyone has seen the movie. It’s an old John Ford
western, in fact he shot it in B&W, but it’s a must see. Look at the
cast – Jimmy Stewart, John Wayne, Lee Marvin, Vera Miles, Andy Devine,
Edmond O’Brien, John Caradine, Lee Van Cleef.
