I'm suggesting that lamenting the loss of the American statesmen seems particularly disingenuous, as the current batch of "nutjobs" (as honeychile so eloquently put it) pales in comparison to the actions of even some of our greatest past leaders (and definitely the functional retards like US Grant) . . . there also might be a slight hint of "what does lying to get elected have to do with being a statesman?" in there, too - season to taste.
