Through the sheer stupidity of the electorate.
Remember the scene in Blazing Saddles where the wonderful Madeline Kahn is performing as Lily von Schtupp, and she comes across the cowboy who has his feet up on stage?
She asks his name.
“Tex, Ma’am.”
She says, “Well, Tex MA’AM, get your feet off the stage.” (That’s shortened, but that always cracked me up. I wonder if he minded being called Tex Ma’am.)
