Journeys With Jani

If common sense had a spokesperson, I’m pretty sure it’d be Senator John Kennedy. Every time that man opens his mouth, it’s like political commentary met stand-up comedy and had a very sarcastic baby. He doesn’t tiptoe around feelings, and honestly, in this day and age, that’s refreshing.

Here’s a collection of some of my favorite Kennedy one-liners—the kind that make you laugh, shake your head, and say “well, he’s not wrong.”

Kennedy-isms That’ll Have You Nodding or Hollering

-Sometimes the majority just means all the fools are on the same side.

-With all due respect, I am against dumb.

-I trust Russia and China and Iran and North Korea like I trust a Jussie Smollett police report.

-Power does not change you, it unmasks you.

-Just because you’ve seen My Cousin Vinny doesn’t qualify you to be a federal judge.

-If you believe that tax policy has nothing to do with the economy, then you’re pretty much like a rock, only dumber. -The Bill of Rights is not an à la carte menu.

-Let me state the obvious. Illegal immigration is illegal, duh.

-I don’t like traffic cameras. In fact, I hate them. But that doesn’t mean I can break the speed limit and run red lights to get to a New Orleans Saints game.

-There’s some jerks. There’s some big egos. There are a few that think they’re one of the Founding Fathers… in both parties.

-This is America. You’re entitled to believe what you want.

-Our rights are not absolute. Our rights can be curtailed in the interest of public safety.

-If you think the Bill of Rights goes from one to three, you probably still believe in Bigfoot.

Say what you want about his politics, but the man delivers truth wrapped in wit with a bow of “Did he really just say that?”

I don’t care which side of the aisle you sit on…if you can’t find at least one of these funny, you might need to check your humor levels.

Power doesn’t change you… it unmasks you. Well played, Senator Kennedy. Well played.

XOXO, Jani
