I KNOW WE'RE ALL DISAPPOINTED THE PRESIDENT COULDN'T MAKE IT. BUT AT LEAST WE GOT THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF WITH US TONIGHT. GOOD TO SEE YOU, MR. VICE PRESIDENT.
AND IT'S NICE TO SEE THE VICE PRESIDENT BACK ON HIS FEET. I KNOW HE WAS AT THE HOSPITAL LAST WEEK. BUT HERE'S THE GOOD NEWS, IT WASN'T A BLOOD CLOT.

HE HURT HIS LEG KICKING A PUPPY.

YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO TELL JUST BY LOOKING AT HIM, BUT THE VICE PRESIDENT IS ACTUALLY EXCITED TONIGHT BECAUSE THE INSURGENCY IS IN ITS FINAL THROES. JUST TWO PROFESSIONAL US ATTORNEYS LEFT.

ACTUALLY, NANCY GAVE ME TWO VERY IMPORTANT TASKS AS SOON AS SHE BECAME SPEAKER: SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP.
I GOT PRETTY MAD -I SAID, NANCY -- THERE IS ONLY ONE WOMAN IN MY LIFE WHO CAN ORDER ME AROUND LIKE THAT.
HILLARY CLINTON.
LET'S BE HONEST, MITT IS THE ODD ONE IN THEIR PARTY. IMAGINE! A GOP CANDIDATE IN 2007 WHO'S MARRIED AND FAITHFUL TO HIS FIRST WIFE.
THINK ABOUT IT:

RUDY: MARRIED 3 TIMES, HAD AN AFFAIR.

MCCAIN: DIVORCED AND ADMITTED TO A WILD PAST.

NEWT: MARRIED 3 TIMES, HAD AT LEAST 2 AFFAIRS.

DO YOU REALIZE THAT WITH A FIELD LIKE THIS, BILL CLINTON COULD RUN AS THE FAMILY VALUES CANDIDATE?

FORGET BANNING GAY MARRIAGE-THE GOP SHOULD JUST BAN STRAIGHT MARRIAGE


What a dolt!

4. heh

Yeah, it is funny. Wonder who wrote it for him.

5. What's wrong with it?

:shrug: Even in cold black and white all caps the humor comes through. With a decent delivery, it would be very funny. And it sure hits the repukes in their weak spots.

6. It did not really do much for me...

[DaveJ]

7. Why so sour?

I seriously doubt you would say that to someone who told you a mediocre joke in person.
