Dolly Parton Bashes ‘Greedy Politicians’ Who ‘Wouldn’t Know the Truth if It Bit Them’

Country star Dolly Parton says we live in a world with “greedy politicians” who “wouldn’t know the truth if it bit them.” After being asked if she would ever consider running for office, the singer said, “No, I’m running from office.”

“In the middle of the night, I wake up with this song in my mind, and I just felt the need to address what’s going on in the world today, my feelings and thoughts about it, because I’m not one for speaking out much on those sort of thing,” Parton said in a recent interview with BBC News.
