I don't think there is a politician alive who doesn't give away his employment status the moment he opens his mouth.
A few years back I was visiting my daughter in Corpus Christie, Texas. One of the places she took me to see was their botanical gardens. It was a plot of sandy land with very few plants of any kind. While we were there we ran into a couple of the local politicians (why they were at this pathetic excuse for a botanical gardens is unknown). Being a politician and hoping to scrounge a vote from what he thought was a local, one of the men approached me and introduced himself. Before he spoke I didn't know he was a politician but kind of suspected it by his expensive clothes and haughty demeanor.
"Hello", he said a little too loudly, "my name is councilman blah blah blah. and what brings you ladies here today?". Man, these guys speak loudly...probably to draw attention to themselves.
I was polite and said I was a visitor from Canada.
"What part?", he asked.
"Ontario", I answered.
"I've been to that city!", he replied with heartfelt enthusiasm.
I just smiled.
