Insults
What’s your favourite insult or put-down? A couple of my favourites are political ones.
As Disraeli said of Gladstone “The man is like a telescope. You can pull him apart and see straight through him.”
Or there’s the exchange between Churchill and Bessie Braddock.
“Mr. Churchill, you’re drunk.”
“You madam are ugly. I shall be sober tomorrow.”
