OK. So, after much thought, your astute political philosophy posits that the leaders with the most credibility are those who wear sober hosiery of muted earthy tones, and those who eschew parades and rock concerts.
Like, say, morticians? Maybe?
Brilliant. Thanks for the insight. That rates right up there Fukuyama's "The End of History."
