Famous quotes containing the word politicians:

    “The last best hope of earth, two trillion dollars in debt, is spinning out of control, and all we can do is stare at a flickering cathode-ray tube as Ollie “answers” questions on TV while the press, resolutely irrelevant as ever, asks politicians if they have committed adultery. From V-J Day 1945 to this has been, my fellow countrymen, a perfect nightmare.”
    —Gore Vidal (b. 1925)

    “Everyone was tired with the old style politicians and their flowery rhetoric. I just told them there are tough times ahead, but that they would be less tough with me in charge.”
    —Anibal Cavaco Silva (b. 1939)

    “Wit puts politicians at risk.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
