Politics are a very unsatisfactory game.

Practical politics consists in ignoring facts.

Politics, as a practise, whatever its professions, has always been the systematic organization of hatreds.

Politics... have always been the systematic organization of hatreds.

Skip the religion and politics, head straight to the compassion. Everything else is a distraction.

I believe people who go into politics want to do the right thing. And then they hit a big wall of re-election and the pettiness of politics. In the end, politics gets in the way of the business of people.

The lesson of the last year is this: foreign policy can't be managed through the politics of personality, and our President would do well to take note of an observation John F. Kennedy made once he was in office - that all of the world's problems aren't his predecessor's fault.

In politics there are some candidates who use change to promote their careers, and then there are those like John McCain who use their careers to promote change.

I'm not the guy to ask about politics. I'm a gag writer.

Frankly, if you do politics, you should not be thinking about your dignity.
