How The Game Is Played

Here's a cartoon I came across describing events at the DNC convention:

Back in the 19th century the Czar of Russia had a ploy by which he appointed several cabbages from his garden to his cabinet. When some policy or other went wrong, as they sometimes do, he would mollify the peasantry by apologizing for the error and announcing that a couple of his ministers had been beheaded.

Here we are again with the misdemeanant getting the chair, and the major felon walking free.
