Last night on Bill Moyers I saw an interview with Christopher Cerf and Victor Navasky of the world famous in Poland Institute of Expertology.
They were on Moyers to discuss their brilliant new work of satire: Mission Accomplished! Or How We Won the War in Iraq: The Experts Speak, a compendium of quotes abridged with the occasional established facts about the expert prognostication we've been lucky to have endured during the run-up to and the duration of the War in Iraq.
The book opens with this quote:
You need someone in office who will tell the truth.
George W. Bush, Republican candidate for the U.S. presidency October 17, 2000.
Experts agree: this is an essential quality of distinguished leadership. Even in Poland.
