| Woody Allen is an artist, not a politician. As a humanist concerned with

the
| Left. The good thing about him - regardless of whether you like his films
| and writings - is that he can both take himself seriously and laugh at
| himself. That is an important relativising quality for a political culture
| to have, which prevents it from degenerating into dogmatic fanaticism.
Real
| fanatics are unable to smile at themselves.
