George W. Bush was giving a third-grader a lesson on politics. First he asked the kid to write “The President” on the blackboard.

Then Bush asked the child what he thought the President should accomplish and the child replied, “Protect the environment and clean up the air.”

Dubya countered, “Why should the clouds be white and the water be blue when they could be all kinds of cool colors? Is that so terrible. Can’t we agree on it? Can you spell “Is” and “We”?

The boy spells out “Is” then “We” on the blackboard.

“My friends at the oil companies can make chemicals to make trees tall. If fact, they already did. Can you write, “tall” and “did”?

The boy writes the words on the blackboard.

“Now young man, what have you learned from your talk with the President?”

The boys stands up and reads what he has written on the blackboard aloud: “The President is we tall did.”

Bush has a short one. Gorbachev has a long one. Madonna does not have one. And a priest does not use his. What is it?

A last name.

George Bush went jogging one morning and came upon the Washington monument. He said, “George, what should I do?” After a few seconds George replied, “Abolish the IRS and start over.” George thought about this for a few seconds and continued jogging.

Shortly he came upon the Jefferson Memorial and stopped. He said “Tom, what should I do?” After a few seconds Tom replied, “Abolish welfare and start over.”

George continued jogging after thinking about this and came upon the Lincoln Memorial. He said, “Abe, what should I do?” After a few seconds Abe replied “Why don’t you take the night off and go to the theater?”

When Einstein died and arrived at the gates of heaven, St. Peter wouldn’t let him in until he proved his identity. Einstein scribbled out a couple of his equations, and was admitted into paradise.

Bush died, he went to heaven and met the man at the gates. “How can you prove to me you’re George W. Bush?” Saint Peter said. Bush replied, “Well heck, I dont know.” St. Peter says, “Well, Albert Einstein showed me his equations and Picasso drew his famous pictures. What can you do to prove you’re George W. Bush?” Bush replies, “Who are Albert Einstein and Picasso?” St. Peter says, “It must be you, George, c’mon on in.”
