When did The Economist go comedy?
"..So we get “Joe the Plumber” lecturing Barack Obama on socialism, and Irish pop stars lecturing heads of state on humanitarian relief in Africa. Even card-carrying members of the elite, such as former President George W. Bush, are keen to play down their Ivy League educations and play up their love of clearing brush on the ranch. Punditry reflects the diversity of every other sphere of public life, and few need fear being called “queer” on national television."
You mean, like, you invite movie star celebrities (because they're indispensable to intellectual life) to write for your paper?
Boy. Cynics them.
