美國的多黨民主政治能行之有年而不必在議會大廳裡大打出手,一是依賴制度化,一是有賴個人修養,另外是靠輿論力量及政治幽默。爭議的雙方劍拔弩張之際,一段幽默辭句脫口而出,頓時笑聲盈耳,滿室生春,化干戈為玉帛,消弭危機於無形。所以說,幽默笑話是民主政治的潤滑劑,優良的政治運作和如珠的妙語是不可分割的。一位女性國會議員就曾說:“有時我的大敵人在我說笑話時也會笑。”
研究美國歷史或政治的人,如果忽略美國的政治幽默,就像吃香蕉吃皮,把香蕉肉丟掉一樣,太可惜了。尤其美國自十八世紀立國以來,歷史很短,民主政治的歷史也不長,比起中國歷史來,似乎有今而無古。可是有關政治幽默的故事就有一大籮筐,這表示民主政治有趣得多了。
歷史家的任務是通古今之變,若想通曉美國之變,更不宜忽略美國歷史中政治的幽默面。本書之作,旨在拋磚引玉。
這本小書之撰寫始於1988年,是年十二月,初稿完成,曾在臺灣的《歷史月刊》第十一期 (頁96-101),以“美國歷史上的政治幽默” 為題刊出。參考書中最重要的是尤達爾的 “Too Funny to be President (做總統太滑稽)”。我從教書工作退休以後,整理舊稿,準備陸續出書。2014年一月,我將此文增刪改寫,遂有這樣一本小書問世。涉及亞利桑那州的幽默在全書中份量較多,這是因為我定居於此已三十餘年。書中關於幽默的妙用一段則是錄自我的《嘉霖散文集》(漢世紀 EHGBooks, 2013)。
做學問的人有時也應該走出象牙塔,寫些有益世道人心的文章。這種大話也不能光說不練。如果這本小書能幫助大家培養一些幽默感,能心平氣和處理爭端,不要打架,不要丟鞋,那就太讓人高興了。
美國歷史也有他的黑暗面,例如槍枝管制的問題總是爭議不休。此書僅涉及美國歷史的幽默面,希望大家喜歡。
