Original englisch: "All the odds are on the man who is, intrinsically, the most devious and mediocre — the man who can most adeptly disperse the notion that his mind is a virtual vacuum.

On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron." - Bayard vs. Lionheart https://www.newspapers.com/clip/21831908/hl_mencken_article_26_jul_1920_the/ in The Evening Sun (Baltimore, Maryland), 1920-07-26 (dort am Ende des Artikels)
