I seen a lot of toilets in my day men, but I’ve never seen poll number this far down the toilet ever. There’s no hope, you’re both swirling down the drain.

Coyne: Brucie, if you move to Australia you can watch your political career circle the drain in a counter-clockwise direction.

My union pays me over a quarter million dollars. At that price, I’ll march with anyone.

1.4% - I caught the leprechaun, why can’t I have my three wishes granted?
Coyne - Because you didn’t ask them correctly. You said I want instead of I wish.

Take it from a plumber: if it’s yellow, things are mellow. If it’s brown, flush it down.

He’s been around a long time. You should listen to what he has to say. If you did, you might get something accomplished.

Good Lord, doesn’t the Gov have any clothing that fits right? If I had his dough, I would look like a (short, chubby-for the moment) Armani suit ad except when I was “down on the farm.” Even then, my Ralph Lauren khakis would fit.
