Tim Tebow demonstrating

"Pity not Tim Tebow. With that smile and sparkle, he can always find a home in national politics: a profession in which neither merit nor substance is required."


- From Dave Zirin, columnist for thenation.com, who doubts the long term NFL viability of Tim Tebow, but gives him credit for being a right-wing poster boy.

In his article, Zirin compared the unearned fan (and media) coronation of Tim Tebow to the way the DC political media machine salivates over the "next big thing" for higher office. He didn't say Herman Cain but that's what I read.
