Quote by Christopher Hitchens
Bad as political fiction can be, there is always a politician prepared to make it look artistic by comparison.

Summary
This quote implies that while political fiction may often be considered poor in quality or deceptive, there will always be a politician who is willing to present themselves in a way that makes the fiction appear more palatable or skillful by comparison. It suggests that politicians have the ability to manipulate information and narratives in a way that can be even more misleading and disingenuous than political fiction itself.
