"It's getting hard to satirise various countries leaders these days. It appears like art imitating life."
When Robert Shea and Robert Anton Wilson wrote their brilliant "Illuminatus" satires back in the early '70s, the biggest problem that they had, according to their later Playboy interview*, was that they were writing about U.S. and Russian administrations that were stupid, venal, and corrupt, and every time they thought that they had come up with something totally bonkers, Nixon and Brezhnev would top them.
Plus ça change...
* Yes, I actually DID read the articles**.
