True conversation between Bush and the Queen
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 well
and so effortlessly?

"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!"

6. Since you are telling Bush jokes... I got this one from a sophomore
in high school during class. I was surprised into a laugh (which, considering the fact that I was the teacher, was probably a "no no").

Poppy Bush was giving some constructive advice to Dubya. "Son," he said, "you are making the same mistake with Iraq that I made with your mother."

"What's that?" asked GeeDubya.

"You didn't pull out soon enough," answered his father.

7. My Favorite Bush Joke.
Little David was in his 5th grade class when the teacher asked the children what their fathers did for a living. All the typical answers came up -- fireman, policeman, salesman, doctor, lawyer, etc. David was being uncharacteristically quiet and so he teacher asked him about his father. "My father's an exotic dancer in a gay cabaret and takes off all his clothes in front of other men. Sometimes, if the offer's really good, he'll go out to the alley with some guy and have sex with him for money." The teacher, obviously shaken by this statement, hurriedly set the other children to work on some exercises and took little David aside to ask him, "Is that really true about your father?" "No," said David, "He...Ah...He works for the Bush administration, but I was too embarrassed to say that in front of the other kids."

9. Another GWB fact
Laura Bush bought George a parrot for his birthday. She told Dick Cheney, The bird is so smart, George has already taught him to pronounce over 200 words!"
Dick replied, "Wow, that's pretty impressive. But you realize that he just says the words. He doesn't really understand what they mean."
"That's true, but then neither does the parrot.?

12. My absolute, all-time favorite Dumbya joke:


At his meeting with Queen Elizabeth last night, George W. Bush turned to the Queen and said: "As I'm the president, I'm thinking of changing the way in which my great country is referred to, and I'm thinking that it should be a Kingdom.”

The Queen replied "I'm sorry Mr Bush, but kingdoms have kings as Head of State - and you are not a King."

George Bush thought a while and then said: "How about a principality then?"

To which the Queen replied "No, principalities have princes- and you are not a prince, Mr Bush.”

George thought long and hard and came up with "How about an empire then?"

The Queen, getting a little annoyed by now, replied, “I am terribly sorry again, Mr Bush, but the Head of State of an empire is an emperor - and you are not an emperor."

Before George W could utter another word, the Queen smiled sweetly and said, "However, one *does* think you're doing rather nicely as a country."
