"There is no more savage, slathering wolf-faced parasite than the politician that has burrowed his way into the corpulent body of the entertainment media. Back in the day at least they had the decency to stand stiffly, aware they were missing the joke, or the butt of it . Now they host god-damned press dinners and perform a stand-up routine, slip into character on nationwide comedy shows, good old boys laughing at themselves and warming the hearts of the kids as their talons remain backstage, slicing through nameless women and children in sandy deserts half a world away." - Hunter S Thompson.
