A politician is an arse upon which everyone has sat except a man.

E. E. Cummings (1884–1962), American poet, 1×1 (1944), no.10, Jay p.107

Do you think that’s a fair assessment of you, and all other politicians?

Why is it that persons who have made a mark in one profession believe they are competent to judge others of a different profession? Do you ask your doctor to rate your lawyer? Your baker to do a performance review on your butcher? One thing is certain: some poets are idiots.
