   As democracy is perfected, the office of 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 adorned by a downright moron.

   H.L. Mencken (1880 - 1956)

I don't recognize the quotation, though it sounds very much like Mr. 
Mencken. I run the e-mail list for the Mencken Society and have asked its 
subscribers, but (so far) no one has identified it.
