George W. Bush was giving a third-grader a lesson on politics. First he asked the kid to write “The President” on the blackboard.

Then Bush asked the child what he thought the President should accomplish and the child replied, “Protect the environment and clean up the air.”

Dubya countered, “Why should the clouds be white and the water be blue when they could be all kinds of cool colors? Is that so terrible. Can’t we agree on it? Can you spell “Is” and “We”?

The boy spells out “Is” then “We” on the blackboard.

“My friends at the oil companies can make chemicals to make trees tall. If fact, they already did. Can you write, “tall” and “did”?

The boy writes the words on the blackboard.

“Now young man, what have you learned from your talk with the President?”

The boys stands up and reads what he has written on the blackboard aloud: “The President is we tall did.”

Al Gore and the Clintons are flying on Air Force One.

Bill looks at Al, and chuckles and says, “You know I could throw a $10,000 dollar bill out the window right now and make one person very happy.” Al shrugs his stiff shoulders and says, “Well I could throw ten $1,000 bills out the window and make 10 people very happy.” Hillary tosses her perfectly sprayed hair and says, “Of course, then, I could throw one hundred $100 bills out the window and make one hundred pepole very happy.”

Chelsea rolls her eyes, looks at all of them and says, “I could throw all of you out the window and make the WHOLE COUNTRY HAPPY!”

Monica walks into her dry cleaning store and tells the guy: “I’ve got another dress for you to clean.”

Slightly hard of hearing, the clerk replies, “Come again?”

“No,” says Monica. “Mustard!”

Winston Peters is visiting a school.

In one class, he asks the students if anyone can give him an example of a “tragedy”. One little boy stands up and offersthat, “if my best friend who lives next door was playing in the street when a car came along and killed him, that would be a tragedy”.

“No,” Winston says, “That would be an ACCIDENT.”

A girl raises her hand. “If a school bus carrying fifty children drove off a cliff, killing everyone involved… that would be a tragedy”. “I’m afraid not, “explains Winston, “that is what we would call a GREAT LOSS.”

The room is silent, none of the other children volunteer. “What?” asks Winston, “isn’t there any one here who can give me an example of a tragedy?”

Finally, a boy in the back raises his hand. In a timid voice, he says: “If an airplane carrying Winston Peters was blown up by a bomb, THAT would be a tragedy”.

“Wonderful!” Winston beams. “Marvelous! And can you tell me WHY that would be a tragedy?” “Well,” says the boy, “because it wouldn’t be an accident, and it certainly wouldn’t be a great loss!”

President Dubya was awakened one night by an urgent call from the Pentagon.

“Mr. President,” said the four-star general, barely able to contain himself, “there’s good news and bad news.”

“Oh, no…” muttered the President, “Well, let me have the bad news first.”

“The bad news, sir, is that we’ve been invaded by creatures from another planet.”

“Gosh, and the good news?”

“The good news, sir, is that they eat reporters and pee oil.”
