Politics Is the Art of Looking for Trouble

chance upon this on the web... how apt!

“Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.” - Earnest Benn quotes

Let's look at the sentences individually:

"Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not" - and this is what the bodoh bodoh bodoh minister has to say; There is no crisis in the judiciary and neither is there any scandal involved, said Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Mohd Nazri Abdul Aziz.

And he blamed the opposition for creating the scandal in order to erode public confidence in the judiciary. - excerpt from Malaysiakini
- need subscription to read.

"diagnosing it incorrectly" - ‘What crisis? I don’t see any’

"applying the wrong remedy" - Is the tape authentic? That's the panel's job
