I know, it happens all the time here in America. But apparently, it's big news in Brazil, where the clown Tiririca ("Grumpy") has won a landslide victory on the slogan "it can't get any worse." Unlike his counterparts in Washington, Grumpy the Clown will at least have an excuse for not reading any of the bills he votes on.
PS - Thanks to Kenneth for mentioning this development in an earlier comment. I thought it deserved its own post.

Adam, consider this a back-handed compliment. You didn't get much reaction from this post like many others you've done. Perhaps the combination of illiterate clown and politics didn't stir up the masses too much. :)

It's a clear case of dog bites man. That slogan is pretty good humor, though. One of the lefty pols in my area campaigns under a similar banner: "X, No Worse Than the Rest."

If you ever watched C-SPAN, It looks like a graduate school for clowns and buffoons.
