MyLaffs Joke #1324
WASHINGTON TRUISIMS:
* Power obtained is power taken from someone else.
* In Washington, it's not so important that you succeed, but that your friends fail.
* Screw unto others as you would expect them to screw unto you.
* Politics is Hollywood for ugly people.
* Sex is to love as Washington is to truth.
* The precision of the answer is inversely proportional to the significance of the question.
* The worse the news, the lower ranking the official chosen to announce it.
* Be careful who you're seen associating with: When a man lies down with hogs, the hogs don't end up smelling like man.
* Flexibility is the key to success. Indecision is the key to flexibility.
* I didn't do it. I didn't mean to. I didn't know. It's not a crime. They did it, too. I'm sponsoring a bill to ban it.
* The fact that it didn't work before doesn't mean we will not try to make it work again.
* It's only precedent if you follow it.
* Being seen is not as important as being anonymously heard.
* An ounce of perception is worth a pound of performance.
* If they are begging for a few dollars, they are street people. If they are begging for billions, they are lobbyists.
AND FINALLY:
* Always remember that Washington is the only place in the universe where unethical doesn't equal illegal.
