Oh My Gosh! Those were so good!
Thanks for stopping by yesterday.
Great List! It was difficult to pick a favorite!
The words of Politicians will no doubt often inspire laughter.
I can only imagine the power in paying professionals to help you talk in circles.
This is a great list! I loved reading it in a forceful, stated tone.
Great list!
Almost got milk out my nose!

Those are hilarious! Will they ever give us a choice of candidates with some intelligence–at least a little common sense?!
Love those! They’re priceless! I always say politics does not attract the best and the brightest!
Sorry I’m late!
Thanks for the giggles!
and Thanks for visiting my TT!
