Politics as usual

I love Bob Dole's book, Great Political Wit. In it he writes about an argument that erupted between Lady Astor and Winston Churchill. Lady Astor said in exasperation to Churchill, "If you were my husband, I'd poison your coffee." Churchill replied, "If you were my wife, I'd drink it."

At the National Prayer Luncheon, Hillary Clinton once said, "In the Bible it says they asked Jesus how many times you should forgive, and he said seventy times seven. Well, I want you all to know that I'm keeping a chart."

Politicians are like stand up comedians. They approach every question with an open mouth! And I just hate political jokes. But they always get elected.
