Vermin Supreme

Vermin Supreme is the rare satirist I genuinely respect, because his absurdity has a point. Running for office in a boot-as-hat costume looks like pure clowning, but it is really performance art aimed squarely at the theater of electoral politics. By treating campaigns as the spectacle they often are, he punctures self-importance without wounding anyone, and that is a harder act than it appears. A humorist and self-styled politician from small-town Massachusetts, he occupies the ancient role of the licensed fool who tells power the truth through laughter. Every healthy democracy could use someone willing to look ridiculous on purpose.
