Our quote comes from the latest episode of Real Time with Bill Maher. In his discussion of how a strong primary isn’t necessarily a bad thing for the Democratic Party, and is, actually, democracy in action, Maher made the following comparison to the mind-numbing reality-TV phenomenon:
“What is so terrible about a long drawn-out contest? A season of American Idol is what, 87 weeks? That’s a lot of time just to pick a cruise ship entertainer. This is the presidency we’re talking about.”
