Quote by Eugene McCarthy
One thing about a pig, he thinks he's warm if his nose is warm. I saw a bunch of pigs one time that had frozen together in a rosette, each one's nose tucked under the rump of the one in front. We have a lot of pigs in politics.
Summary
This quote suggests that politicians can be compared to pigs because they also rely on perception, rather than reality. The statement about pigs believing they are warm if their nose is warm implies that they are easily deceived by their own senses. Similarly, the reference to politicians being "frozen together" implies that they may stick together and blindly follow each other, without critically thinking or considering the consequences. Overall, the quote mocks politicians' tendency to prioritize appearances and conformity over genuine understanding and independent thought.
