the funny thing about his image is that he's actually an incredibly smart guy, if you've ever seen him in an interview, it's really amazing how smart and articulate the guy is, not to mention very polite. I kind of like the fact that his image is the polar opposite, it's a true illustration of that saying "don't judge a book by the cover"
