Bush joke

[valerie]

On his trip to Great Britain, George Bush had a meeting with Queen

Elizabeth. He asked her, "How does one manage to run a country so

smoothly?"

"That`s easy," she replied, "You surround yourself with intelligent

ministers and advisors."

"But how can I tell whether they are intelligent or not?" he inquired.

"You ask them a riddle," she replied, and with that she pressed a button

and said, "Would you please send Tony Blair in."

When Blair arrived, the Queen said, "I have a riddle for you to answer for

me. Your parents had a child and it was not your sister and it was not

your brother. Who was this child ?"

Blair replied, "That`s easy. The child was me."

"Very good," said the Queen, "You may go, now."

So President Bush went back to Washington and called in his chief of

staff, Karl Rove. He said to him, "I have a riddle for you, and the answer

is very important. Your parents had a child and it was not your sister and

it was not your brother. Who was this child?"

Rove replied, "Yes, it is clearly very important that we determine the

answer, as no child must be left behind. Can I deliberate on this for a

while?" "Yes," said Bush, "I'll give you four hours to come up with the

answer."

So Rove went and called a meeting of the White House Staff, and asked them

the riddle. But after much discussion and many suggestions, none of them

had a satisfactory answer. So he was quite upset, not knowing what he

would tell the President.

As Rove was walking back to the Oval Office, he saw former Secretary of

State Colin Powell approaching him. So he said, "Mr. Secretary, can you

answer this riddle for me. Your parents had a child and it was not your

sister and it was not your brother. Who was the child?"

"That's easy," said Powell, "The child was me."

"Oh thank you," said Rove, "You may just have saved me my job!"

So Rove went in to the Oval Office and said to President Bush, "I think I

know the answer to your riddle. The child was Colin Powell!"

"No, you idiot!" shouted Bush, "The child was Tony Blair!"
