He strikes me as being kind of a smug elitist type. I don’t know... I could be wrong.
Have you ever watched “Dirty Jobs”? I don’t know what his politics are, but it’s hard to imagine a smug elitist doing any one of those jobs for even five minutes.
Just found an interesting article about him at http://jobs.aol.com/articles/2010/03/12/dirty-jobs-mike-rowe-works-hard-and-smart/ :
“I don’t know that a 4-year degree is the golden ticket anymore. I would never say anything against education,” he says. “But why is there the 4 year degree and everything else is ‘alternative’?”
On the jobs bill that is lumbering through Congress, Rowe doesn’t take a particular political stance, but he has a viewpoint. The Mike Rowe you see on TV is the same Mike Rowe in conversation. He’s chatty yet thoughtful, and definitely opinionated.
“I just don’t think you can create jobs. I think you can create opportunities. I think people will avail themselves of them. People on “Dirty Jobs” span the political spectrum but they see work in the same way. If [Obama] is going to create 3 to 4 million shovel-ready jobs, it would be nice to make sure those are jobs people want and not jobs people have been disparaging for the past 30 years.”
You're right, you're wrong......LOL!

You are wrong and wildly so.
I worked with him years ago when his daytime job was selling computer services for the org I was with at the time. He was then also hosting a real estate sales show on Sunday mornings.
A nicer, more down to earth guy you would have a hard time finding.
