President Bush went to England and met with the Queen. He asked the Queen how she manages to surround herself with such intelligent people. She said "Well, it's quite simple, I just ask them a question and if they answer correctly I know they are intelligent enough to work for me. Here, let me show you." So she goes to the phone and calls Tony Blair, " Tony, your mother has a child and your father has a child and that child is neither your brother nor your sister. Who is it?" Tony Blair quickly answers, "Why that's easy your Highness, that child is me"

When President Bush returns to the States he calls in Senator Arlen Spector and asks him the same question. Senator Spector replies, "Why sir, I am going to have to think this one over a bit and get back to you" He returns to his colleagues and asks them to help him find the answer to this puzzling question. After mulling it over for a long time, the senators call Colin Powell and ask him "Mr Powell, your mother has a child and your father has a child and that child is neither your brother nor your sister. Who is it?" He quickly replies, "Senators, that child would be me"

Senator Spector runs back to the oval office, " Mr President, the answer to your question is Colin Powell" and the President says " Wrong, it's Tony Blair"

You guys are brilliant, those jokes were so wonderful I forgot to laugh. Why don't you spend some time making jokes about our enemies instead of the man who is keeping terrorism out of our country. Just a thought.

Well, Will, my lad, if you look at the date those jokes were posted (Aug. 11, 2001) you may notice that at that time, Mr. Bush was doing a rotten job of "keeping terrorism out of our country". There was a whole NEST of suicidal terrorists living the good life in Florida, as you recall. He's been doing somewhat better at it, lately.

I can see why you are particularly protective and admiring of Mr. Bush. Apart from the degrees from Yale and Harvard, and the inherited wealth and privilege, you and Mr. Bush are exactly alike! The resemblance is truly uncanny!
