What are your favorite burns or rhetorical comebacks by politicians. As an example, here are two of my favorites:


Note to Marco Rubio: That is how to take a sip of water. :)

And one of my favorite off-the-cuff one-liners.

Love him or hate him, Barney Frank just KILLED it with this one:

"People might cite George Bush as proof that you can be totally impervious to the effects of Harvard and Yale education.”

Oh, man.
 
It's a three minute clip, I won't post it, but look on YOUTUBE for Walter Mondale/Gary Hart "Where's the Beef?"

Classic! Just, classic!

I use that very one, whenever I get a chance, which isn't often. But it's a real stopper, if you can pull it off!
 
Probably far too long for this thread, but extremely timely I believe, and as good a burn as I've ever seen!

Ha! I have never heard that one before. Definitely adding that to my personal list of come-backs.

Many years later even Mondale admitted that was the point his campaign was utterly lost (it had no real hope to begin with, but still...). He even complimented how good it was, which made me respect him a bit.
