KD, St Jacques Le Majeur

Modern politicians have certainly mastered this one!

Mike, Norwalk

Five stars for the accuracy and, thumbs down for how the American politician, educator, media reporter, etc. has alienated the truth by implementing this stated subject matter correctness.

Jack, Brussels (Belgium) - but I'm British !

When is Churchill supposed to have said this? What is the source for this quotation?

jim k, austin

Spoken like a lawyer and our Congress is made up mostly of lawyers. Hey, maybe that's why the country is in such a mess.

Waffler, Smith

Probably a very bad quote from this great leader. All information comes to us and must be processed or syncretized into a complete whole or policy. Ever heard of the word NUANCE.

GUSTAVO, ATLANTA

HE MANAGED TO KEEP ENGLAND TOGETHER AND FIGHTING WWII BY FITTING WORDS TO MATCH THE SITUATION

I know what you mean Jim K. We have two lawyer senators from our state I'm not very pleased with.

E Archer, NYC

That's how you get to be Prime Minister... ;-)
