There's no trick to being a humorist when you have the whole government working for you.

I'm a classic example of all humorists - only funny when I'm working.

A humorist is a person who feels bad, but who feels good about it.

Being a humorist is not a voluntary thing. You can tell this because in a situation where saying a funny thing will cause a lot of trouble, a humorist will still say the funny thing. No matter how inappropriate.

There's plenty of room for humor in politics, God knows, but it's a serious business.

It is hard for power to enjoy or incorporate humour and satire in its system of control.

The President has a wonderful sense of humor, which is one of the reasons it is so much fun to work for him.

I'm a politician, and as you know, politicians are rarely very funny.

All comedians are, in a way, anarchists. Our job is to make fun of the existing world.

I'm not a traditional politician, and I have a sense of humor. I'll try to soften it and become boring, maybe even very boring, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to.
