Famous quotes containing the word politicians:

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

    [I support] term limits for career politicians and the death penalty for career politicians.
    William Frist (b. 1952)

    In the past, it seemed to make sense for a sportswriter on sabbatical from the playpen to attend the quadrennial hawgkilling when Presidential candidates are chosen, to observe and report upon politicians at play. After all, national conventions are games of a sort, and sports offers few spectacles richer in low comedy.
