Why can’t we have interesting politicians?

Like Japan’s Prime Minister Taro Aso, who looks like a James Bond assassin:

Or Vladimir Putin, who last month saved a camera crew from a enraged Siberian Tiger:

Or, Carla Bruni (technically not a politician, but close enough), France’s First Lady:

Who is an extremely talented musician in addition to being gorgous, French, and sophisticated.

If they’re going to steal our money, fight wars in our name, limit our freedoms while spinning the lie that they are necessary for civilization, they might as well be entertaining about it.
