From the moment a Founding Father first asked for a vote, politicians have been saying dumb stuff. From George Washington to George Bush (both of them!) right on to present-day pundits like Donald Trump, Sarah Palin, and Hillary Clinton, political leaders can always be counted on to say funny, exasperating, and nonsensical things, often unintentionally. In
Sh*t Politicians Say, Jesse Ventura shares the most entertaining and disturbing "thoughts" from his political brethren, including these winners:
"The concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive." --Donald Trump
"I am not worried about the deficit. It is big enough to take care of itself." --Ronald Reagan
"I think gay marriage is something that should be between a man and a woman." --Arnold Schwarzenegger
"I love California, I practically grew up in Phoenix." --Dan Quayle
"A zebra does not change its spots." --Al Gore
"People have got to know whether or not their president is a crook. Well, I'm not a crook. I've earned everything I've got." --Richard Nixon
"Death has a tendency to encourage a depressing view of war." --former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld
"I'll be long gone before some smart person ever figures out what happened inside this Oval Office." --George W. Bush
From bigoted statements to outright lies . . . flip-flopping to just TMI,
Sh*t Politicians Say will provide readers with a welcome respite from the presidential campaigns.
