The Republican “base” that is so important in primary elections, corrupts the selection process and keeps a lot of reasonable people out of office.

The notion conveyed in that passage in Thud occurs in other novels involving Commander Vimes: that if you’d do a bad thing (or neglect to do a good thing) for a good reason, sooner or later you’d do the same for a bad reason. If I’m not mistaken, a similar notion is expressed in different words in the only book Dubya ever claims to read, but I suppose he missed that part.

McCain reportedly can and does read, but apparently he has given over anything he has learned by reading, in favor of the essence-of-sewer that comes out of the administration’s slime machine. There are none so blind as those who… who want too much to be president.
