Bush and the Pope
The Pope is visiting DC and President Bush takes him out for an afternoon on the Potomac... sailing on the presidential yacht, the Sequoia. Theyâre admiring the sights when, all of a sudden, the Popeâs hat (zucchetto) blows off his head and out into the water. Secret service guys start to launch a boat, but Pres Bush waves them off, saying âWait, wait. Iâll take care of this. Donât worry.â
Pres Bush then steps off the yacht onto the surface of the water (he knows whee the rocks are) and walks out to the Holy Fatherâs little hat, bends over and picks it up, then walks back across the water (at least CIA knew where those rocks were . . .) to the yacht and climbs aboard. He hands the hat to the Pope amid stunned silence.
The next morning the topic of conversation among Democrats on the Hill, CBS News, NBC News, ABC News, the New York Times, CNN, NPR, Hollywood celebrities, and in France and Germany is âBush Canât Swim.â
A few years back, I saw this same joke is a different form:
Pres Clinton has just come off of the witness stand in re "is" and "not having sex with that woman" bit Stories of Mrs Clinton's understandable upset with him, over infidelity and fellation, and the papers abound with snippets of flying lamps and ashtrays in the White House private quarters.
The next day, Rush Limbaugh reports on his talk radio show that "The President is so inept he Can't Get Laid."
