[edit] Known for highlighting the irony and absurdity of politics

Commoner tells that "The peak of the campaign happened in Albuquerque, where a local reporter said to me, 'Dr. Commoner, are you a serious candidate or are you just running on the issues?'"

Be nice to include it in the article somehow. A "Notable Quotes" section, perhaps?
