“I never saw anything funnier than Texas politics.”– Molly Ivins Related Quotes “Somehow we can’t live outside the politics of race. There’s something very deep in all of us, that is taught to us when we are very, very little. Which is the disrespect and fear of the other.”– Anna Deavere Smith “Politics is organized hatred, that is unity.”– John Jay Chapman “The only reason to be in politics is public service. There’s no other reason. Frankly, if that’s the best job you can get in terms of money, that’s too bad, you know. Because frankly, it’s not well paid, everyone knows that. So for most people it’s a big sacrifice.”– Malcolm Turnbull
