"A Galileo could no more be elected president……" — H. L. Mencken

A Galileo could no more be elected president of the United States… - H. L. Mencken
"A Galileo could no more be elected president of the United States than he could be elected Pope of Rome. Both high posts are reserved for men favored by God with an extraordinary genius for swathing the bitter facts of life in bandages of self-illusion."
