Learn To Speak Potomac!

Great humor piece by Dana Milbank in the latest issue of The Atlantic (whose website no longer has a subscripition firewall). A few of my favorite examples:

• Frankly … The following statement is false.
  
• I don’t pay attention to the polls. My job-approval rating is 32 percent.
  
• I hope we can work together in a bipartisan way. I need to pick off one senator from the other party to pass this bill.
  
• This should not be a political issue. My party has a winning political issue.
• It’s time to stop playing politics. The other party has a winning political issue.

There are several other good ones. Check out the list.

Galv Update:

• I have great respect for the senior senator. I am about to drill my elderly colleague a new one.
• War is my last choice. The bombing begins in three weeks.
