A lobbyist, on his way home from work in WashingtoN D.C.,
came to a dead halt in traffic and thought to
himself, "Wow, this seems worse than usual."
He noticed a police officer walking between the lines
of stopped cars, so he rolled down his window and
asked, "Officer, what's the hold-up?"
The officer replied, "The President is depressed, so
he stopped his motorcade and is threatening to douse
himself with gasoline and set himself on fire. He says
no one believes his stories about why we went to war
in Iraq, or the connection between Saddam and
al-Qaeda, or that his tax cuts will help anyone except
his wealthy friends. So we're taking up a collection
for him."
The lobbyist asks, "How much have you got so far?"
The officer replies, "About 14 gallons, but a lot of
folks are still siphoning.
