American Tragedy

Bruce:
... We forget that every adult was brought up on fairy tales so it's natural to go on and, politically for example, want to believe that your President is a nice, honest man. The inability to turn to an adult perspective once you get to the age where you have some political weight is a great tragedy, and this is a period of history when it seems the most obvious type of disguise is on display to the entire world and yet those are the people who are still in power.
(From Mojo via Daily Kos)

Time to lose the fairy tales, people. Of course, it would also help if the media would stop perpetuating the myths 24 hours a day, but then they might be putting their cocktail party invitations at risk.
