Mr. Bon Mot and the Election of 2016

Bon Mot is a French term denoting witticism. What better name for a fictional character who loves to laugh often at the expense of himself?

Here a new character emerges for Mr. Lucas’s long standing protagonist, Paul Undres,  is laid to rest.  Mister Bon Mot emerges from a tough childhood to write a white paper on the business of running for office. While shamefully inadequate to face the press as a candidate, his deals with his whoring girlfriends that force him to retreat to woods and do volunteer work and seek solace there just as the sun sets on the election of 2016.  His role as a politician with no patrician blood is to tax the rich. He leans so far left that he almost falls on his face. His neck turns red in the heat of the sun while the votes are counted, though.
