“I used to say our elections went on far too long, but you know what? No. Americans are dumb; they need the extra time. I used to think we should do it like the British, where an election takes five weeks, or France, where the official length of the campaign is two weeks. I’ve been to France; it takes that long to get a waiter to notice you. And these are people who will spend three days shopping for a cheese that goes with pears. Their idea of fast food is a snail. When they cooked Joan of Arc, she was still pink in the middle.”
