...Communist-run state-and the world's only existing Communist government to have achieved power through legal elections-Kerala should have been a show place for Asia's Reds.

He brings his own excellences to the outrageous personage with the slashing wit and excoriating tongue; saying and doing such things as the rest of us dare only do in our minds, he cantankers his way through the role like a bull-slinger in a Canton shop.
