"As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."--H.L. Mencken
This quotation from the iconoclastic Baltimore writer H.L. Mencken was just as true during the Bush administration when it was first circulated on the Internet as it is today when it is enjoying yet another revival.
