OK, he's done *something* for public service, but it's not much. I mean, I'd expect an award to be given to someone who's dedicated much more of zhir's life to public service than he has (Marian Wright Edelman? Kweisi Mfume? I'm sure there are zillions of others.). Maybe I'm a bit biased, too, in thinking that someone with such incredible public recognition might not find the award as useful as someone with a lower profile.
