BUSH PRESIDENTIAL LIBRARY DESTROYED BY FLOOD

Crawford, Texas -- A tragic flood this morning destroyed the personal library of President George W. Bush. The flood began in the presidential bathroom where the books were kept. Both of his books have been lost. A presidential spokesman said the president was devastated, as he had almost finished coloring the second one. The White House tried to call FEMA but there was no answer.

    How about THIS bombshell from The Borowitz Report? "Elsewhere, President George W. Bush said that he meant to invade Iran all along, blaming the error on SpellCheck."

    UPDATE 2: While the President's crayons survived the flood, it is now confirmed that the redrawn political map of the Middle East did not. The chicken-scrawled map, scribbled crudely with the surviving crayons, was apparently the "coloring book" identified in earlier reports.

    Overheard in the Whitehouse sometime in December. Cheney: I believe Condi has bought the President a book for Christmas. Rove: Why would she do that, he already has one.

    The good news is the president's prized rubber ducky, the one that makes bath time lots of fun, floated to safety.

    An oldie but goodie: Bush and Rumsfeld are sitting in a bar. A guy comes in, sees them and asks the bartender: "Hey, is that Bush and Rumsfeld over there?". "Yup", replies the bartender. So, the guy approaches their table and asks: "Hey, what the hell are you guys doing here?". Rumsfeld says: "We're planning to attack iran right now". The guy then asks: "Really! What's going to happen?" Bush says: "Well, we're gonna kill 130,000 iranians, and one bicycle mechanic" "Why would you kill a bicycle mechanic?" asks the guy. Bush then turn to Rumsfeld and says: "See? I told you nobody cared about 130,000 iranians".

    Amazing how computer literate little kids are these days. My grandchild who's nine got that e-mail along with some knock-knock jokes. Those kids....

    LWW, Lighten up. As if the level of humor displayed by the "conservative" posters on this site rises to some higher level of satire.

    LWW: 1) GFY 2) See 'chicken crosses road.' 3) I said it was an oldie but goodie. Please come back when you have something to add and not subtract from the discussion. (your grandkids can add and subtract can't they?)

    Daddler, am I to assume that Bush really did dry up as shown in the clip. If he did, what on earth was Kerry's question?

    The TL kid joke just isn't funny. I don't care if you're a rightwing cross-burner or a leftwing flag-burner it just ain't funny. Get the humor right.

    Hey, LWW, I agree, the original joke wasn't that funny, but humor is in the eye of the beholder. And frankly bush trying to speak is funny enough.

    Come and listen to my story 'bout a boy named Bush. His IQ was zero and his head was up his tush. He drank like a fish while he drove all about, But that didn't matter 'cause his daddy bailed him out. DUI, that is. Criminal record. Cover-up. more...(and better!) Hu's on first?

    LWW, I laughed out loud when I got to the coloring book line, so it was funny to me. Sorry you don't have a sense of humor.

    Hear! Hear! (or, as Dadler might put it, since this is a thread about humor, Here! Here! :-).

    The best Bush clip of all is the video floating around the net where he is piss drunk and rambling at a wedding reception. Google "Bush Drunk Wedding Clip" and you'll find it. Instant classic!
