...went to Washington. The particular comparison with Stewart I would make was more like the famed actor's stump speech after the sequel, Mr. Smith Goes to the White House, which didn't do well at the box office. (As it turns out, unfortunately for this prissy good-government scenario, Babbit is now a Capitol Hill lobbyist for a group of healthy savings and loans institutions...
