Letterman has a segment called “George W. Bush Joke That’s Not A Joke” - We’ll probably see this one tonight:

President Bush, once an unsuccessful candidate for the House, greeted the new members at the White House on Monday and made a wry reference to his own Congressional campaign. “I ran in 1978, came in second in a two-man race,” Mr. Bush said.

The fact that Bush said it was lame enough, but no right-thinking human being would have thought it was amusing enough to label it “wry” and print in an article about Republicans (eventually) deciding against allowing drunken rages, whoring**, and illicit drugs in the halls of Congress…

Come on Carl- you realize people laugh at Bush’s horrible attempts at jokes because they’re entirely up his ass, don’t you?

** The whoring I’m referring to that isn’t allowed is the sexual kind- whoring of all other types continues to be a staple of daily life in Congress.
