Quote of the day [Darleen Click]

Ah heck, quote of the decade — a politician, this time Los Angeles City Councilman Tom LaBonge, being inadvertently honest:

“Before I wanted to become a fireman, I wanted to be a trash man. I couldn’t do either, so I became a councilman.”

    Interior decoration wasn’t panning out for Herr Schiklgruber, so I guess gummint was the way to go there, too.

    I Godwinally denounce myself.

    Other careers LaBonge wasn’t quite smart enough for:

    Crash test dummy
    Levee filler
    Worm food

    LaBonge – What a perfect name for a perfect dunce.

    There’s the old Chicago story from the original Daley machine, about a pol who was too stupid to be an alderman – so Daley arranged for him to be elected to the U.S. House of Representatives.

    Funny you should mention that…

    Obama fought for a German venue, orated to a collection of chanting Germans whilst standing before monuments dedicated to German military glory and then AND ONLY THEN had the gall to complain that the footage look like Nuremburg…

    Funny ol’ world innit?

    I will consider myself denounced and slink off to my watery sepluchre.
