So my really (I had no idea) talented 12-year-old cousin drew this the other day.
I simultaneously remembered some quote I’d heard once:
‘For only those with a strong stomach should witness political discourse…… And the making of sausages.’

The original quote is: “Laws, like sausages, cease to inspire respect in proportion as we know how they are made.”
Spoken first by American poet John Godfrey Saxe in 1869 (http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/John_Godfrey_Saxe).
Oh well, I can’t even count how many sayings are incorrectly attributed to Ben Franklin or Churchill. They seem to be the go-to guys for any kind of pithy sayings.

Actually, I was referring to the one made by Otto von Bismarck,
“The making of laws like the making of sausages, is not a pretty sight..”
Yes, it’s often quoted as von Bismarck, but that is apparently considered a misattribution with many variants: http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Otto_von_Bismarck.

True, so true 🙂
