The great enemy of clear language is insincerity

When there is a a difference between their real and their declared aims, they will blurt out long reasons and excuses, like a squid squirting out black ink, to prevent us to pursue them any further.

What is the desirable ability in politicians?

It is the ability to foretell what is going to happen tomorrow, next week, next month, and next year. And to have the ability afterwards to explain why it didn't happen.
