Politicians

Filed under: Political — @ 17:18

I’ve never much liked politicians. This quote sums them up beautifully:

Still, we Americans should be aware of the venality, the meanness, the duplicity, and the downright vilenss of the pompous power-hungry pols who specialize in being elected to Congress.

It would be a simple matter to replace Congress with Parliament and Americans with Britons – it would still scan; it would still be accurate.

  1. Hi Mark

    Hope you’re well. Jon’s asked me to leave you a quick note to let you know that his computer is broken. It seems like some sort of problem with the power source.

    Regards, Kim

    PS - For what it’s worth, nice generalisation. I’ve yet to see a government to which it couldn’t be applied. How disillusioning.

  3. I’m on my neighbour’s PC at the moment as my computer has died. Hope to be back about soon.
