I post a post into the air disparaging mocking, and of course I'd indulged in it myself a few posts earlier, making fun of Illinois' Gov Blague. (*)
The governor isn't trying to amuse us--he wants us to think he's serious and important, even when he's corrupt and foolish. I think a little mockery (in moderation) is a reasonable reaction. What I worry about is the culture of mockery in which everything is attacked, whether it deserves derision or not.
(*) Oops, I did it again.
