Mr. Marx goes to Washington
Groucho could have been commenting on the "health care/insurance/reform debate that kept Washington warm (hot air does that) this fall when he quipped, "Those are my principles. If you don't like them I have others."
My two favorites are from Sens. Mary Landrieu, D-La., and Ben Nelson, D-Neb. Landrieu said, "I know people don't believe this, but I can't be bought." This was after she voted for cloture in exchange for a $300 million earmark for her state. Nelson couldn't be outdone - he said "My vote is not for sale, period." This was right about the time he sold his vote in exchange for a Medicaid payment exemption for Nebraska.
