Considering the politicians that have been inflicted on us now, it would be nice if we could raise some of the old ones from the dead and ask them to come back.
In the old days, politicians were just as corrupt, immoral and hypocritical as the ones we have now. The difference is that they knew these things were wrong, and tried to keep them concealed. Today, politicians don’t even blush when they’re caught… they just try to put their own spin on it and redirect the blame.

Sounds like a lot of politicians I know. The longer you are gone the closer to sainthood you get in everyone’s mind.

That’s because the current crop is invariably even worse.

A Statesman is a dead politician. Lord knows we could use more Statesmen.
