9 Famous Funny Political Quotes
2017 was
full of funny political quotes. If you like those you can click here for more. From Hilarious
Clinton to Donald the Trump, we’ve had our share of laughs. But how those two,
or Bernie Sanders, Ronald Raegan or George W. Bush fare with the most famous
funny politicians in history? Can they even call it a competition? Because they
do face some serious competition. The federal parliament in Australia can also
be ultimately funny. Paul Keating said some of the funniest observations of anyone’s
political opponents ever. Check that guy out.
You could
probably write ten books on quotes by Winston Churchill, Oscar Wilde, Harry S.
Truman, and probably there are more than dozen of books on the topic. So, what
are the best ones? The most famous ones? It surely isn’t an easy task to do,
but I presume everyone has to have their favorites. I have mine, and I would
like to see if you agree with me or not. If you do, let me know in the comment
section which ones you like the most.

disagree and think that there are better, funnier, more famous political quotes
out there, be sure to share. I can seem to get enough of famous political
sayings. I’ve read a dozen of funny political quotes articles before I wrote this post, just to make sure that this
is really my best choice.
So, without
further ado, here is my choice of the most famous political quotes, the funny

slime-coated piece of industrial waste? – Dave
Barry

Washington. For the first six months you wonder how the hell you ever got here.

during prime time and I doubt that anybody would notice. – Dave Barry

hurt to throw in some really funny ones:

trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the
wrong remedies. – Groucho Marx

never read a newspaper. Half never voted for President. One hopes it is the
same half. – Gore Vidal
