A Question About Democracy

Why do politicians think they always have to smile?

Channel-surfing I hit on CNN and Wolf Blitzer was asking Whie House flack Dan Bartlett if Bob Woodward's new book didn't prove George W. Bush was a lying sack of shit. (That's a paraphrase, unfortunately).

A normal person faced with a serious charge against his side would look grave. Bartlett was grinning in a smile that had to oost him $5K worth of dentistry.

That's not a Democratic observation. Both parties do the same. Why don't they understand how wretchedly false it looks?
