Politicians and celebrities, i.e.; *public figures*, are exempt from parody and critical defamation generally.

Defamation needs to be proven by monetary harm to receive* damages, like unable to contract or work. If a politician cannot get reelected because the public dissed him to his demise -- he is shit out of luck.
