Trying to select the "most corrupt" politician is like trying to determine which prostitute is the "most whore-like"

Most of them have ethics problems until they can pass a law to make even more stupidity legal.

I think like a bad marriage, both sides do it and when sources report them they'll put on some circus hearings for the public and then back to business.

How can you tell if a politician is lying?

His lips move.

Politicians always remind me of Captain Renault in Casablanca.

"I'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!"

Croupier: Your winnings, sir.

"Oh, thank you very much. "

Well, it doesn't surprise me that three of them are from Illinois, my state.

I have an idea for a new state motto:


ILL-INOIS, STATE OF CORRUPTION

Sounds like some sort of catagory from a hollywood beauty pagent.


Pelosi, Frank, Boxer. The axis of evil.

How I'd fix the problem.

1. Send pelosi the bill for all of her trips on the AF shuttle.
2. Convict Frank for corruption.
3 Strip boxer of her gubmint pension and title.

I remember an interview by China Central TV A few years back:

reporter: What do you want to be when you grow up?
little girl: I want to be a government official.
reporter: What kind of government official?
little girl: A corrupt government official!
