Politics (Short Takes)
Published Jul 09, 2005

"Four years ago, my cousin ran for state senator."
"What's he do now?"
"Nothing. He got elected."
"Why don't we ever hear of a thief burglarizing a politician's house?"
"Professional courtesy."
Mom: What makes you think our son will be a politician?
Dad: He says more things that sound good and mean nothing than any other boy on the block.
A political pollster knocked on the door and a sour-faced lady answered.
"What party does your husband belong to?" he asked.
The lady responded curtly, "I sir, am the party he belongs to."
