Klappentext

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.
