Truth can be Very Humorous in Politics

"Difference Between Republicans and Democrats"


A Republican and a Democrat were walking down the street when they came to a homeless person. The Republican gave the homeless person his business card and told him to come to his business for a job. He then took twenty dollars out of his pocket and gave it to the homeless person.

The Democrat was very impressed, and when they came to another homeless person, he decided to help. He walked over to the homeless person and gave him directions to the welfare office. He then reached into the Republican's pocket and gave the homeless person fifty dollars.

Now you understand the difference between Republicans and Democrats

"Proud to Be a Democrat"


A first grade teacher in the Midwest is explaining to her class that she is a Republican and how nice it is that a new Republican president has taken office. She asks her students to raise their hands if they, too, are Republicans and support George Bush.  Everyone in class raises their hands except one little girl.  
"Mary," says the teacher with surprise, "why didn't you raise your hand?"  
 
"Because I'm not a Republican," says Mary.
 
 "Well, what are you?" asks the teacher.  
 
"I'm a Democrat and proud of it," replies the little girl.  
 
The teacher cannot believe her ears. "My goodness, Mary, why are you a Democrat?" she asks.
 
Well, my momma and papa are Democrats, so I'm a Democrat, too."  
 
"Well," says the teacher in an annoyed tone, "that's no reason for you to be a Democrat. You don't always have to be like your parents. What if your momma was a criminal and your papa was a criminal, too, what would you be then?"
 
Mary smiled. "Then we'd be Republicans."

"George W. Bush and the Pope"


The Pope visits Washington and President Bush takes him for a ride down the Potomac on the presidential yacht. They're enjoying themselves when a gust of wind blows the Pope's hat (zucchetto) off and out onto the water. The Secret Service begins to launch a boat but Bush waves them off saying, "Wait. I'll take care of this."

Bush steps off the yacht onto the surface of the water, walks out a ways and picks up the hat. Back on board, he hands the hat to the Pope amid stunned silence.

The next morning the Washington Post carries the story complete with photos under the heading:
 

BUSH CAN'T SWIM.
