#7: I have come to the conclusion that politics is too serious a matter to be left to the politicians. (Charles de Gaulle)
#6: A politician is a fellow who will lay down your life for his country. (Tex Guinan)
#5: Instead of giving a politician the keys to the city, it might be better to change the locks. (Doug Larson)

#3: Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself. (Mark Twain)
