Sh*t Politicians Say

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.

"I think gay marriage is something that should be between a man and a woman." --Arnold Schwarzenegger

"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
