Richard Humphreys of Oregon got 37 months in prison for telling this joke:


A Muslim, a Baptist, and a Catholic walk into a bar.

The Catholic says, "I heard President Bush is giving a speech here this week. I wonder if he'll be using an interpreter."

The Baptist says, "Yeah, to translate it into English."

They have a few more drinks and the Baptist says, "I wonder if they'll show it on a wide screen television. They call him the 'Big Picture President' you know."

The Catholic answers, "I doubt it. His 'big picture' could fit on the head of a pin."

After few more drinks, the Baptist comments, "Maybe someone should shove that pin up his ass."

The Catholic responds, "He'd squeal louder if they shoved a jalapeno pepper up his ass."

The Baptist says, "Yeah, a jalapeno. Talk about a Burning Bush!"

With that, an FBI agent arrests the Catholic and the Baptist for threatening bodily harm to the Sole Commander in Chief of the United States, and takes them both into custody.

The bartender looks at the Muslim and says, "Wow! Can you believe that?"

The Muslim replies, "That's nothing. John Poindexter was convicted of lying to Congress, obstruction of justice, and destroying Federal evidence about the criminal conspiracy to sell arms to Iran, and Bush just appointed him Director of the Pentagon's Total Information Awareness Office."

A teabagger holds up a sign advocating murdering the president of the United States, and he's NOT in prison right now? Where's the disconnect?
