Foot-In-Mouth disease is a disease millions of politicans suffer from worldwide. The disease was first discovered during the Roman Empire. The disease peaked during the British Empire and is now making a comeback. The disease makes a politician say one thing or "lie" but when they are confronted with reality they either a) retract their previous statement, b) lie their way out of it, c)jump to another subject, d) make a somewhat "look on the bright side" "truthy" statement, or in extreme cases e) tell you to go "F**K yourself and become very belligerent.
