A politician needs the ability to foretell what is going to happen tomorrow, next week, next month, and next year. And to have the ability afterwards to explain why it didn't happen. - Winston Churchill
Everything is changing. People are taking their comedians seriously and the politicians as a joke. - Will Rogers Politics, it seems to me, for years, or all too long, has been concerned with right or left instead of right or wrong. - Richard Armour Why are politics and a pond similar? Because the scum always floats to the top in both! - Linda McDonald Politicians are like diapers. They both need changing regularly and for the same reason. - Anonymous What is conservatism? Is it not the adherence to the old and tried against the new and untried? - Abraham Lincoln Those who are too smart to engage in politics are punished by being governed by those who are dumber. - Plato Priests are no more necessary to religion than politicians to patriotism. - John Haynes Men say I am a saint losing himself in politics. The fact is that I am a politician trying my hardest to become a saint. - Mahatma Gandhi Get thee glass eyes, And, like a scurvy politician, seem To see the things thou dost not. - William Shakespeare On both sides of a war, how many mothers must face the death of their sons because a politician will not face the death of one misguided opinion? - Laura Teresa Marquez Political language. . . is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind. - George Orwell Politics: Poli a Latin word meaning many; and "tics" meaning bloodsucking creatures. - Robin Williams During the debate, John McCain sparked a controversy when he referred to Barack Obama as "that one." Afterwards, McCain said, "What — like I'm supposed to remember everyone's name now?" -Conan O'Brien I don't want to say the debate was boring, but I didn't think a political event could be that dull without the help of Al Gore. -Jay Leno Because of all the international focus on the election, the debate was broadcast in foreign countries all across Europe, Asia, and South America. Or as Sarah Palin calls them — "Russia." -Conan O'Brien I did take exception to McCain calling Obama "that one." I can't think of anytime it would be appropriate to call a United States senator "that one." Well, maybe if you had to pick a senator out of a lineup. -Craig Ferguson "Possible controversy for the Obama campaign. Republicans are now accusing Barack Obama's campaign of voter fraud, because some of the people they've registered sound like they have fake names. Apparently, the fakest-sounding name is Barack Obama." -Conan O'Brien "Yeah, the economy is going to hell, but at least we're getting leadership from the White House. That's the important thing, ladies and gentlemen. Thank God for that." -David Letterman "Nation, what a debate last Thursday. Both candidates surpassed expectations. Sarah Palin proved she could speak, and Joe Biden proved he could stop speaking." -Stephen Colbert "John McCain has pulled out of Michigan. I guess the surge wasn't working. Yup, this is stunning to me. John McCain blew off Michigan. Well, I know how they feel. Maybe you noticed that all of John McCain's problems began when he bailed out on this show? Were you aware of that? The road to the White House runs right through here." -David Letterman "The second presidential debate is tonight. And beforehand, I don't know if you heard this, John McCain said, 'The gloves are coming off.' That's what he said, yeah. Yeah, then McCain said, 'but don't worry, the diaper is staying on.'" -Conan O'Brien --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "WebTV Dawgs/Dittos" group.
