If Mark Twain was alive today, it’s a good possibility he and Louisiana senator John Kennedy would be great friends. As a social critic and humorist, Twain often satirized the political elite and congressional proceedings with equal doses of wit and wisdom. Kennedy does the same in his bestselling book, “How to Test Negative for Stupid: And Why Washington Never Will—A Senator’s Funny and Perceptive Takedown of Washington Politics.”
The difference is that Twain parodied politicians from the outside. Kennedy has been Louisiana’s U.S. senator since 2017.
