Looking at the quotes or jokes relating to politicians over the years, one would perceive the notion that 'Politicians are presumed bad unless proven otherwise'!

by promising to protect each from the other. ~Oscar Ameringer, "the Mark Twain of American Socialism."
Those who are too smart to engage in politics are punished by being governed by those who are dumber.
~Plato, ancient Greek Philosopher
We hang petty thieves and appoint the bigger thieves to public office. ~Aesop, Greek slave & fable author
Instead of giving a politician the keys to the city, it might be better to change the locks.
~Doug Larson (English middle-distance runner who won gold medals at the 1924 Olympic Games in Paris, 1902-1981)
Politicians are the same all over. They promise to build a bridge even where there is no river.
~Nikita Khrushchev, Russian Soviet politician
Politicians are people who, when they see light at the end of the tunnel, go out and buy some more tunnel.
~John Quinton, American actor/writer
A politician is a fellow who will lay down your life for his country. ~Texas Guinan. 19th century American businessman
When I was a boy I was told that anybody could become PM; I'm beginning to believe it.
~Quoted in 'Clarence Darrow for the Defense' by Irving Stone.

What happens if a politician drowns in a river? That is pollution.
What happens if all of them drown? That is a solution ....!!! - A dreamer.
