Politics

(This came from The Washington Spectator.)


Politics has long been the answer to the wit's prayer.

Examples:

"Politics --the gentle art of getting votes from the poor and campaign funds from the rich by promising to protect each from the other." (Oscar Ameringer)

"Politics is 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)

"Mothers all want their sons to grow up to be President, but they don't want them to become politicians in the process." (John F. Kennedy)

"Politics is not the art of the possible. It consists in choosing between the disastrous and the unpalatable." (John Kenneth Galbraith)

"A statesman is a politician who's been dead 10 or 15 years." (Harry S. Truman)


The quotes are excerpted from The Penguin Dictionary of Modern
Humorous Quotations.
