However, it is misattributed to Mark Twain:

Politicians are like diapers: they should be changed often, and for the same reason

• Variant: Politicians and diapers must be changed often, and for the same reason
• Not found in Twain's works.
• A 1993 newspaper humor column attributes this saying to Reader's Digest: "Picking it up from a Reader's Digest fan, Willie, our ex-shoe shine boy, says some politicians are like diapers. They both need changed often ... and for the same reason."[2]
• Also attributed to Reader's Digest in Naomi Judd's 1993 book Love Can Build a Bridge: 'A quip I once saw in Reader's Digest said: "Most politicians are like diapers: they should be changed often, and for the same reason!"'.
• Attributed to 1992 congressional candidate John Wallner
• Not found attributed to Twain until 2010
