Showing that his clownishness goes beyond tweeting his bowel movements, our sophisticated and erudite IIT graduate Arvind Kejriwal expects to deliver on his promises of utopia by tutoring every citizen on how to conduct "shting operayshunns"

What is this circus freak doing? Lunatics are taking over the asylum in the name of 'reinventing governance' - as if flowery phrases from Tejpal's thesaurus will float them to heaven. Kejriwal's cartoonish one-eyed man in the land of the blind seems to be ample proof that you can't pull a silk purse from a sow's ear. When the electorate themselves are largely a bunch of illiterate idiots, then it's not only possible but inevitable that they'll arbitrarily vote any fellow idiot into power.

“Lunatics are taking over the asylum”
Did you have this in mind?:
“THE SYSTEM OF DR. TARR AND PROF. FETHER
by Edgar Allan Poe”b
The lunatics (which includes a few lawyers also) do not seem to know that "entrapment" (defined below) is illegal. It would render the shtingk operation invalid, and it would make the shtingk operator liable to prosecution.
Definition: “entrapment n. in criminal law, the act of law enforcement officers or government agents to induce or encourage a person to commit a crime when the potential criminal expresses a desire not to go ahead.
“The key to entrapment is whether the idea for the commission or encouragement of the criminal act originated with the police or government agents instead of with the "criminal." Entrapment, if proved, is a defense to a criminal prosecution. The accused often claims entrapment in so-called "stings" in which undercover agents buy or sell narcotics, prostitutes' services, or arrange to purchase goods believed to be stolen.”
A passage from Edgar Allan Poe's short story that I cited in my post:
“ ... ... it all came to pass by means of a stupid fellow – a lunatic – who, by some means, had taken it into his head that he had invented a better system of government than any ever heard of before – of lunatic government, I mean. He wished to give his invention a trial, I suppose, and so he persuaded the rest of the patients to join him in a conspiracy for the overthrow of the reigning powers.”
