who is that?

I think our political system bars anyone with any real talent or sanity form running for higher office.

HL Mencken thought this was due to the nature of democracy itself. Perhaps this is part of the problem, but the media circus surrounding national politics that arose starting with the late Sixties culture clash and Watergate has made our political culture much more toxic than in Mencken's day.
