Quote by Mark Russell

Humor is very very risky, particularly for a candidate, unless he's been in so long that it just doesn't matter, and he's not running for president. But it's just that people are so sensitive and so touchy, and you're just going to upset somebody without ever realizing it.

Summary

This quote suggests that humor can be a dangerous tool, especially for political candidates. Unless a candidate has built such a long-standing reputation that the consequences of their humor are negligible, it is risky for them to use it while running for public office. People today tend to be highly sensitive and easily offended, even unknowingly. Consequently, attempting to be funny can often lead to upsetting someone in the process, emphasizing the potential risks and challenges of incorporating humor into political campaigns.
