DaedalusHKX's Journal: Wonder if this is indeed fulfilled yet?

Mencken is quoted to have stated as follows among his many other writings. This is attributed to the July 26th, 1920's Baltimore Sun (I presume this is the same Baltimore Sun as the one now printed in Baltimore, Maryland.)

"...all the odds are on the man who is, intrinsically, the most devious and mediocre -- the man who can most easily (and) adeptly disperse the notion that his mind is a virtual vacuum. The presidency tends, year by year, to go to such men. As democracy is perfected, the office represents, more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day, the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."

I leave conclusions to the readers :)

Original quote was pulled from this blog.

Been fullfilled every year since January 1980

When the last President who could actually speed read well enough to read every piece of paper that came across his desk, left office for the last time.
