Now that Sen. John Warner has chosen not to run for re-election next year, the Virginia Republican should take up Hollywood. No actor alive today actually looks like a senator as much as Warner does.
With that wavy gray hair, courtly accent and genteel manner, Warner could be the new favorite for playing politicians now that former-senator-turned-actor Fred Thompson is planning a return to politics, as a GOP presidential candidate. And, of course, Warner knows a thing or two about Hollywood, thanks to his brief marriage to Elizabeth Taylor.
Maybe Warner could be cast as what he was in real life — a statesman who shunned the politics of personal destruction and partisan warfare. Such old school ways are sorely needed, and if Warner must no longer be a real senator, let him play one on the screen and perhaps he will continue to inspire politicians and citizens alike to get along and solve the nation’s problems.
