TOP 10: Selina Meyer “VEEP” Quotes

BY Bob Erlenback

It has been nearly five years since HBO’s “VEEP” left our screens, but the comedy series’ biting commentary still remains current. Love her or hate her, Selina Meyer still brings to life a chilling portrayal of today’s politics. The funniest part about this character is we never know which party she is aligned with. It skewers both, and maybe shows us that someone's personal ambitions sometimes transcend party or ideals. Have I cheered you up yet?

We take a look back on the best Selina Meyers lines from the series and wonder, Was she right? Sometimes.
