Pollies a joke says clown

A CLOWN elected twice to Brazil’s Congress under the slogan “It can’t get any worse” says he is too embarrassed by his fellow politicians to run again.

Francisco Everardo Oliveira Silva, known as ‘Tiririca’ meaning ‘grumpy’, yesterday said he was ashamed of his colleagues, more than half of whom are under investigation for corruption, and won’t run again in 2018.

He said he would return to full-time circus work.
