The last general election in Nigeria was
characterised by some high level of insults, many
of which some observers found rather irritating
and childish. But none of this assault makes the
list of political insults complied by MSN.
This compilation is of some of the wittiest and
most crushing put-downs ever spoken by
activists and those in government go to show
that just because a person is involved in politics,
doesn’t mean they are politically correct.

mistresses.”
Adlai Stevenson:
Vice President Adlai Stevenson on the Republican
Party: “If they will stop telling lies about the

them.”

Evil, and Evil.”
Teddy Roosevelt:
Assistant Secretary of the Navy Teddy Roosevelt

Thatcher: “She probably thinks Sinai is the plural
of sinus.”

off.”

Attlee: “An empty cab pulled up to Downing

Abraham Lincoln on Stephen Douglas: “His
argument is as thin as the homeopathic soup
that was made by boiling the shadow of a pigeon

The greatest insult is the forged, shoddy declaration of assets by the executive. Another insult is releasing it to the public, and believing they can actually get away with it.
