"You will know that politicians are in full control when justice is no longer admissible in a court of law."
"A politician is always surprised to have his integrity challenged, having never realized that his integrity was even involved."
"Politicans are divided between those who cannot resist temptation and those who no longer require it."
"The difference between embarking on a political career and embarking on a criminal career is the formal announcement."
"Just as reasonable people can disagree, unreasonable people can agree,often forming a political party."
"No political party has a monopoly on truth, in the same way that no lynch mob has a monopoly on justice and no hedgehog a monopoly on table manners."
"The difference between a politician and a pickpocket is that ... but there I go again, splitting hairs."

LOL, the best comedy is based on truth.
Injustice, lack of integrity, giving in to temptation, criminal activity.....you've got politicians pegged! You should write a book!
I agree with Marlene--these are funny because they are so TRUE. I wasn't always a political cynic like yourself. The 2008 election debate circus nurtured my cynicism. :)

Although I try to live up to the "Enjoy the little things..." image, I am really a frustrated Ambrose Bierce or H.L. Mencken, and I find that I can really let myself go when I talk about politicians. Nobody takes offense. Thanks for encouraging me. I visited all your sites today, finding real delight in three very different dimensions.
