the con man behaving naturally

Some men who aspire to leadership have no intention of living in integrity. They simply crave acclaim, power, influence, and wealth. We see these fakers exposed in every arena—politics, business, sports, religion, entertainment and the arts, science, and the professions.

Steve Martin played a classic charlatan as Rev. Jonas Nightingale in the 1992 movie Leap of Faith. He explained himself to his partner, “I give my people a good show. Manipulators are sneaky. I am obvious.” He had no illusions, or values, and he was not an obviously tortured soul. He was simply a con man.
