The professional politician can sympathize with the professional advertiser…both must resign themselves to low public estimation of their veracity and sincerity.

Enoch Powell (1912–1998), British Conservative politician, scholar and poet, Attributed, 1965, Jay p.296

Don’t you pity the poor professional advertisers who get tarred with the same brush professional politicians so often deserve?

So true, and that is why you can never quite trust anyone who laughs at your jokes; tells you that you are beautiful, or handsome; or claims you are unlike every other politician.
