Summary
This quote suggests that politics is similar to show business, where charisma, image, and public appeal play a significant role. However, it adds the comical twist by stating that politicians are often viewed as unattractive or unsightly. The quote portrays the idea that in politics, a person's physical appearance might not matter as much as their ability to entertain, manipulate, or persuade the public, emphasizing the theatrical and performative nature of politics.
