13. A great line of dialogue on award winning VEEP series.
Mon May 30, 2016, 11:30 AM
May 2016

The long-suffering chief of staff for first woman president, Selina Meyer, discussing with his staff how to frame Selina's most recent, of many, opportunistic, focus-group-driven, 180 degree policy changes. "She changes her mind more often than a pedophile at Disneyworld."

VEEP is the top comedy program/series on television today. It skewers, while accurately portraying the fobiles, egocentricities, corruption, venality and greed of politicians of both sexes, both parties.
