Politicians

Frolicking in the mud resembling pigs,
pots and kettles calling the other black,
hypocrites acting like lily-white saints,
yet no far better than idiotic hacks.

You aren't being fair to the pigs. Yes, pigs do frolick in the mud but they don't frolick in the mud with underage interns and pages. Pigs have more class. Who knows, maybe if there were no politicians, no one would be inspired to be a proctologist. Maybe after they handle this bail out we'll find out if "freedom IS just another word for nothing left to lose." (Kris K.). Have a great day, Fred. Vince
