Tom ClancyI am a politician which means I am a liar and a crook. When I am not kissing babies I am stealing their lollypops.
About This Quote
"Politician" has become a dirty word in politics. It's because of this quote that the term has become so negative. When politicians are not being honest about what they are doing, it leaves the voters with a bad taste in their mouth. This quote tells us to be careful about the actions of our leaders.
If our leaders are dishonest, it leaves us all open to manipulation and corruption. If we don't have any good people in power, then the last line of the quote makes sense.
