All right, all right. Far from sticking his nose into the internal affairs of the Roman Catholic Church, an Episcopalian-the one talking at this moment-probably should undertake to keep lip tightly zipped.

They probably do have it rigged so that impersonating a politician (read: criminal) is some kind of crime, but maybe there's a loophole. I mean, they let "The Colonel" keep selling fried chicken and all, right?
