George Carlin once said: If honesty were suddenly introduced into American life, everything would collapse. It would destroy this country, because our system is based on an intricate and delicately balanced system of lies.
And I think that somehow, deep down, Americans understand this. That’s why they elected—and reelected—Bill Clinton. Because given a choice, Americans prefer their bulls**t right out front, where they can get a good, strong whiff of it. Clinton may have been full of s**t, but at least he let you know it. And people like that.
In ’96, Dole tried to hide his bulls**t, and he lost. He kept saying, “I’m a plain and honest man.” People don’t believe that. What did Clinton say? He said, “Hi folks! I’m completely full of s**t, and how do you like that?” And the people said, “You know what? At least he’s honest. At least he’s honest about being completely full of s**t.”

Diapers and most politicians need to be changed regularly for the same reason.

Toddlers have hope of maturing.

I use “piglet” as a more apt analogy. Constantly making loud grunts and greedily sucking at the teats.

Well a lot of people are comparing Trump to Biden. Wonder what shape Biden’s underwear is in?
