Things you'd never say to politicians!
Edited on Wed Feb-18-04 03:49 PM by ih8thegop
Specific ones and/or politicians in general.

Things you'd never say to...

GEORGE W. BUSH
-You are one brave man.
-Wow, Einstein!
-Congratulations on that landslide in 2000! How did you do it?

HOWARD DEAN
-You need to express your feelings more.

BOB GRAHAM
-You look like Mickey Mouse!

AL SHARPTON
-You also need to express your feelings more.
-You Bush-lite!

JOE LIEBERMAN
-You're a bleeding-heart liberal!

ZELL MILLER
-You're beyond liberal; you're a flat-out commie pinko!

JEB BUSH
-You look like the Looney Toons.
-I'm sorry, I forgot: You ARE a Looney Toon!

NORTH DAKOTA GOVERNOR JOHN HOEVEN (R)
-Pepperoni or anchovies? (long story, but it happened about a year ago!)
-Your state is HAPPENIN'!

...what wouldn't you say to a politician?

1. Wow Senator Coleman,
You really stick to your lifelong ethics and worldview. In addition, you are a man who keeps his hands to himself.

Care to elaborate?

Note the subject: Things you would NEVER say to a politician . . . .

FWIW I'm gay and a native Californian. I put Dianne in the Senate.
