    G W Bush is a painter.
    Mike Huckabee is a bass guitar player. 

    Many of them are Con-artists.

    There are several in the Danish senate, I assume the proportion would be about the same in the US.

    Of course.  All Presidents are artists and all artists are political in some aspect.

    Even Van Gough.  He was the first hippie dropout who could not conform to society art-wise or in any manner.  He even tried being a preacher and that did not work.  He painted his situation.  That was most political.  It reasonates to this day.

    Then there is the art of being a candidate and what it takes to get elected.  That is a talent extrodinaire.  It is an art.
