Perhaps.... but that does not change the fact that we can look forward to 1200 or so more days of drivel. Hell, for that matter, we can expect that it will never stop. If it isn't one "Talking Head" it will be another.
Although the Bard was describing life as a "tale told by idiots, full of sound and fury and signifying nothing," this description also pertains to American politics.

How could my ears stand four years of Hillary's blatantly self-serving drivel? (In the end, I did not let this determine my vote and instead followed the late Molly Ivins' advice, voting for Ralph.) But now we seem to have suffered a role reversal: because she is supposed to be diplomatic and not toot her own horn, Hillary's annoyance rating took a dive, while Barack's rating soared, since he's become increasingly pedantic in his style.
