 Good point, Ryan.  I agree that Fudge is supposed to be exactly that 
sort of *head in the sand* politician.  Thats why many people have 
compared Fudge with Neville Chamberlain, the British pre-WWII prime 
minister who had the same attitude towards the Nazis.  Another 
possible example is those brilliant guys running NASA in the 1980s, 
who did not want to cancel a shuttle launch because they were afraid 
that it would affect NASAs funding, so they let the Challenger lift 
off despite the reports of possible danger due to cold weather.  Oops.

This analysis implies that at some point Voldy will be parading 
around with Fudges head on a stick, so to speak.  I cant say that I 
will feel all that sorry for him.

today, since she still has 5 local elections in which to figure out 
which one is marginally less evil.
