"A group of politicians deciding to dump a President because his morals are bad is like the Mafia getting together to bump off the Godfather for not going to church on Sunday"
- Russell Baker
About this Quote
This quote by Russell Baker is a funny contrast between a group of political leaders and the Mafia. Baker is recommending that it is absurd for a group of politicians to choose to get rid of a President from workplace because of his morals, as it is equally ridiculous for the Mafia to get together to kill the Godfather for not going to church on Sunday. Baker is suggesting that the President's morals ought to not be the choosing factor in his elimination from office, and that the Mafia ought to not be concerned with the Godfather's spiritual practices. Baker is also highlighting the hypocrisy of the politicians and the Mafia, as they are both taking part in unethical activities, yet they are judging others for their ethical choices. Eventually, Baker is recommending that the President needs to not be eliminated from workplace for his morals, and that the Mafia must not be worried about the Godfather's religious practices.
