H.L. Mencken (born
1880 - died 1956) was a journalist, satirist, critic, and a registered Democrat.
He wrote the editorial below while working for the
Baltimore Evening Sun, which appeared in the July 26, 1920 edition.
"As
democracy is perfected, the office of the President represents, more and more
closely, the inner soul of the people. 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 occupied by a downright fool and complete narcissistic moron."
-- H.L. Mencken, the Baltimore Evening Sun, July 26, 1920
