Tony Kushner, Radical Pragmatist
This is a good interview. Especially when he gets to the end where he talks about politics:

"The system isn't about ideals. The country doesn't elect great leaders. It elects fucked-up people who for reasons of ego want to run the world. Then the citizenry makes them become great. FDR was a plutocrat. In a certain sense he wasn't so different from George W. Bush, and he could have easily been Herbert Hoover, Part II. But he was a smart man, and the working class of America told him that he had to be the person who saved this country." - Tony Kushner

But I guess we have to vote for them anyway.
