Stephen Colbert has never been democratically elected (at least not yet), but he’s been the kind of leader that democracy badly needs in order for it to survive.

Integrity, compassion, fearlessness, intelligence, wit, humour, wisdom, honesty, morality, persuasiveness, kindness, humility, honour.

Flying business class and #privatejet is a luxury… and it’s currently hugely undertaxed. That could be about to change.
