#1 I can only suppose that "ugly" is meant in the same negative sense that Churchill used in referring to democracy being so bad.

Democracy is the worst form of government except for all those others that have been tried.

#2 I think it's meant in the sense of "it doesn't have to be pretty, just so long as it gets done."
