15 August 2002 - I state and attest

< yesterday -- tomorrow >

I, [name of elected politician], state and attest that, to the best of my knowledge, based upon a review of the latest polls, and except as corrected or supplemented in a later evolution of my position, no covered campaign promise contained an untrue statement of a material fact, or, in light of the circumstances under which it was made, omitted to state a material fact necessary for the protection of the official posterior.

clue:

This is a parody of the statement required of corporate officers swearing that the company’s financial statements are honest.

take oh take this clue away
