McCain

I am not serene about the future of the Republic. But one of the things that has always struck me as fundamentally healthy is the kind of public ribbing and humor that lots of non-governmental events have built into the process. In monarchies, court jesters get to make fun of the king; in our system, the rulers have to make fun of themselves.

Pretty good stuff, in two parts.
