Classic putdowns
In the interests of political incorrectness, here's a list of truly brilliant putdowns, as posted on ABC News Australia:
Paul Keating on John Howard
"All that money, and he's still got hair like a dinner-lady."
Boy George on Elton John
"Michael Jackson's album was called Bad because there wasn't enough room on the sleeve for Pathetic."
Prince
"Like a dwarf who's been dipped in a bucket of pubic hair."
Boy George on Prince
"It's like Michael J Fox drew it and Stevie Wonder filled it in."
Joan Rivers on Lena Dunham's tattoo
"The daughter Cher wishes she'd had."
Joan Rivers on Justin Bieber
"All tip and no iceberg."
Paul Keating on Peter Costello
"Could make a can of Red Bull fall asleep."
Comedian Katy Brand on Adele's singing
Any to add?
"A shiver looking for a spine to crawl up.""There are two things I don't like about you, Felicia: your face — so how about shutting both of them?"
This line, from Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, is — for my money — one of the best put-downs in the English language.

Lyndon Johnson on Gerald Ford.
“A huge fur ball on two overdeveloped legs.”
Nancy Mitford on Princess Margaret
“There’s one area where Donald’s experience could be invaluable, and that’s closing Guantanamo. Because Trump knows a thing or two about running waterfront properties into the ground.”
Barack Obama on Donald Trump

Churchill when he was told he was drunk.
Yes, but you're ugly, and in the morning I'll be sober.
On being told by a woman that if he were her husband, she'd poison him:
If you were my wife, I'd drink it
Oscar Wilde did some good ones
