Political correctness? In my humor I never talk about politics. I was never much into all that.

Mixing humor and politics is something that works.

President Obama chose politics over leadership. 'Hope' and 'Change' have become bait-and-switch.

Hope springs eternal even in politics.

What I hope is in five years' time I can go to the British people in the election and say: Lots of you doubted that coalition politics worked but it has worked.

Is there in all the history of human folly a greater fool than a clergymen in politics?
