in one of them folks (even celebrities) are allowed to (and do) make fun of idiocy whenever they see it practiced in politics, and
in the other society, many high-profile politicians make it their business to misquote, slander, and generally paint their running-opponents and critics as lying, America-hating, baby-eating bastards. Meanwhile, they **** on the Constitution and pass laws that are hurtful and harmful for their consitituency, for political gain.

Well, it seems the real world is a combination of those two worlds. And this columnist decides that the problem that will turn off voters, the big thing that needs working on here, is the one that makes too liberal a use of free speech?!

Yeah, okay. We'll going to take you seriously really soon, mister columnist sir. Honest.
