Don't know the true sources, but somewhere from an American political debate in the mid 1800's:

First pol about second pol: "You will doubtless die either from a loathsome disease or the hangman's noose!"

Second pol in response: "That, Sir, depends upon whether I embrace your mistress or your principles!"

Gawd, I wish I'd said that!!
