I'm starting this thread to honor statements made by politicians and related spokespersons that must have been met with jaw-dropping astonishment by anyone who heard them.
My contribution comes from
here, an article about patronage, waste, and corruption at the Philadelphia Parking Authority
Quote:
Fenerty doesn't deny that the authority is a patronage organization. In fact, he views patronage as a plus, a way to "pre-interview" job applicants.
"It means someone has vouched for your integrity, someone has spoken for your reputation and character," Fenerty said.

Notice that he just said 'someone has spoken' and not what was actually said.
Welcome to my city.
