Searching for fresh new clichés
Searching for fresh clichés to use in political commentary and social media is a full time job. Here are a few that might wet your whistle or knock the balls off a brass monkey:
Going with your gut is evidence of diarrhea.- What doesn’t kill you probably is covered by the new health insurance bill.
- A rose by any other name may not be a red.
- Democrats are looking for a witch behind every Russian.
- Good crack is always illegal while a good crack often goes viral.
- Skydiving is good to the last drop.
- Absence makes the heart look yonder.
- All’s well when the last lawyer is finally paid.
- An idle mind is a Congressman’s playground.
- An ounce of prevention is worth a thousand bucks on the street.
- A bad seed probably comes from a GMO lab.
- CNN beats facts into ashes if not asses.
- Too many reporters are calling a spade a shovel.
- You can’t judge a crook by his cover story.
- Today’s political commentary is usually crock and bullshit story.
- Obstructionists are a few bricks shy of a stone wall.
- A sleeping Senator beats a Kangaroo loose in the paddock.
- Today’s Kodak moments have probably been PhotoShopped.
- We’re waiting for freshman Congressmen to wake up and smell the bait.
- Caught like a dear who woke up on the wrong side of somebody else’s bed.
You probably didn’t hear it here first.

Very good!
Thanks. Use them often and people will be impressed.
Fun! I’ve got a few:
All that twitters is not gold.
Gluten-free advocates go against the grain.
Convincing lawmakers to take action against global warming seems to have a futuristic snowball’s chance in Duluth.
Bacteria is the mother of infection.
She was as sly as a Fox newscaster.
To block legalization of meds that grow like weeds, big pharma lobbyists remind members of Senate and Congress that they work in the land of bilk and money.
Claritin is nothing to sneeze at.
Though I’ve previously opposed term limits, I’m now a big believer in the seven year pitch.
Those are great additions to the list. Use them often! Seven years is probably a good stopping point.
Good one. Some will get used a lot.
Thanks! 🙂
