Why Robert Redford won't run for office! 'Oh, I get it! It really is just a game'

Tweet

"Robert Redford has a dim view of American politics, says David Hochman in _Playboy_ [and I have a dim view of Playboy]. As a younger actor, he made several films about the corruption and compromises at the heart of political ambition that, he hoped, would make Americans demand more of their leaders. 'I once had great hopes that people would see movies like _The Candidate_ and _All the president's men_ and say, 'Hey, if we're not careful, we might get snookered.' I discovered we Americans enjoy the distraction of entertainment but aren't really interested in the deeper message. We don't like to look inward; we don't like darkness.'

His cynicism was reinforced when he received a Kennedy Center honor in 2005 and spent an evening hobnobbing with Washington's elite. 'Here were sworn enemies, the leaders who beat the s___ out of each other all day in public, but the minute those doors closed for the state dinner, the daggars went away and it was one big happy family. I saw former Republican Sen. Bill First weaving through the tables, and he came over to Ted Kennedy and started massaging his shoulders and laughing like they were the oldest buddies in the world.

Everyone was crossing the aisles and chuckling, and I said, 'Oh, I get it! It really is just a game.'"
