You see this one, noted by the Boston Globe?
Spoken by Edward G. Robinson in the flick Key Largo,
(supply appropriate intonation for optimal enjoyment):

"Let me tell you about Florida politicians.

I make them.  

I make them out of whole cloth, 
just like a tailor makes a suit. 

I get their name in the newspaper. 
I get them some publicity 
and get them on the ballot.  

Then, after the election, we count the votes.  
And if they don't turn out right, we recount them. 
And recount them again.
Until they do."
