Bush joke...
George W. Bush meets with the Queen of England. He asks her, "Your
Majesty,how do you run such an efficient government? Are there any tips you can give to me?"

"Well," says the Queen, "the most important thing is to surround yourself with intelligent people."

Bush frowns. "But how do I know the people around me are really
intelligent?"

The Queen takes a sip of tea. "Oh, that's easy. You ask them to answer an intelligence riddle."

The Queen pushes a button on her intercom. "Please send Tony Blair in here, would you?"

Tony Blair walks into the room. "Yes, my Queen?"

The Queen smiles. "Answer me this, please, Tony. Your mother and father have a child. It is not your brother and it is not your sister. Who is it?"

Without pausing for a moment, Tony Blair answers, "That would be me."

"Yes! Very good," says the Queen.

Back at the White House, Bush asks to speak with Attorney General John Ashcroft. "John, answer this for me. Your mother and your father have a child. It's not your brother and it's not your sister. Who is it?"

"I'm not sure," says Ashcroft. "Let me get back to you on that one."

John Ashcroft goes to his advisors and asks every one, but no one can give him an answer. Finally, he ends up in the men's room and recognizes Colin Powell's shoes in the next stall. John shouts,
"Colin! Can you answer this for me? Your mother and father have a child and it's not your brother or your sister. Who is it?"

Colin Powell yells back, "That's easy. It's me!"

John Ashcroft smiles. "Thanks!" Ashcroft goes back to the Oval Office to speak with Bush. "Say, I did some research and I have the answer to that riddle. It's Colin Powell."

Bush gets up, stomps over to John Ashcroft, and angrily yells into his face, "No, you idiot! It's Tony Blair."

1. Good one... reminds me
Bush meets with the Queen of England. She confides, "My countrymen do not like me so much. I was not elected and only got this position because of my family connections and now people say I cost my country too much."

Bush says, "I know exactly how you feel."

2. Another I saw recently
His closest advisors came to visit Dubya at the White House one evening and found him slamming down beers and whooping it up. They were astonished since he had given up drinking years ago.

When asked why he was off the wagon, Dubya replied that he was celebrating finishing a jigsaw puzzle. They smiled and told him that wasn't much of an accomplishment. "Ah, but you're wrong. I did it in record time." When asked what that record was, he replied that he had finished it after only 6 months.

Again, they told him that it wasn't that great. "Oh yeah?" said the commander in chief, "Well the box says 3-5 YEARS!"

3. Told my RW brother-in-law this one
He didn't think it funny

At a news conference Bush announces that in addition to going back to the moon, and to Mars, we are going to send astronauts to the sun. When asked if that wouldn't mean the astronauts would burn up, Bush replies "We're going to do it at night."
