I'm speaking OF everybody on this forum, whether you like it or not. That includes YOU. I have grown tired of professional politicians and professional "political scientists" and professional pundits screwing up my country, and then demanding that only professionals have the "expertise" to fix it.

A plague o' the lot of them. That includes YOU, if you fancy yourself to be one of those professionals.

What part of "We the People" do you not comprehend?

The individual referenced in the OP is a flaming a-hole ... but that fact has nothing to do with his profession as a bartender. I have vastly more respect for bartenders than I have for politicians and pundits.
