You know them: comedians, satirists, cartoonists, and impersonators. The second way is to be the victim of their merciless talents. As such a victim, I take a backseat to no one as far as humor is concerned... In Humor and the Presidency [Gerald Ford, 38th President of the United States] lightheartedly ruminates on the link between laughter and leadership, discussing the importance of humor in the political process - and retelling many of his favorite funny stories.'" .
