Displace your own abilities onto a supernatural power and you are easily led to blaming others for the messes you cause. Avoiding self-interest, you can fall into self-importance.

Mickey Kaus was this way, when Obama stuck his nose just far enough into Rupert Murdoch's contributions to "the news" so as not to threaten the security of Fox's tax breaks and only to be able to affect a look of repulsion, when he, the leader of the free world, would've smelled what he did. It was for Obama, not Kaus, to define "the news." This is because it was for Obama to place his little sniff test somewhere.
