Will Rogers was the mayor of Beverly Hills, owned polo ponies, was far more interested in polo than western riding, associated almost exclusively with wealthy and famous people, and his wife's memoirs of him were a classic study in name-dropping and bragging about their affluent lifestyle. He never saw a man he didn't like, but he liked most of us at a considerable distance. (I'm an Okie, and I'm not a traitor! I just don't think he was a "common man", any more than I think Abe Lincoln was a common man.)
