Government by the unwilling

I haven't agreed with any of the little I've heard from P.J. O'Rourke -- until now:

We will win an election when all the seats in the House and Senate and the chair behind the desk in the Oval Office and the whole bench of the Supreme Court are filled with people who wish they weren’t there.

How else can we expect our government to make the hard decisions that inevitably will anger some, possibly many, voters?
