Subject: Bush and the Pope

The Pope is visiting Washington, DC, and President Bush takes him out for an afternoon on the Potomac, sailing on the Presidential; yacht, the Sequoia. They're admiring the sights when all of a sudden, the Pope's hat (zucchetto ) blows off his head and out into the water.

Secret Service guys start to launch a boat, but President Bush waves them off saying, "Wait, wait, I'll take care of this. Don't worry."

Bush then steps off the yacht onto the surface of the water and walks out to the Holy Father's little hat, bends over, picks it up , then walks back to the yacht and climbs aboard. He hands the hat to the Pope amid stunned silence.

The next morning, the headlines in Washington Post, New York Times, Boston Globe, Boston Herald, Buffalo News, Milwaukee Sentinel - Journal, Minneapolis Tribune, Denver Post, Albuquerque Journal, Los Angeles Times and San Francisco Chronicles proclaim:

" Bush Can't Swim."

I am willing to bet dollars to donuts (Krispy Kreme) that there were plenty of people in the CIA who questioned the validity of the evidence that there was WMD in Iraq.

I'll take that bet.

I know what my friends think. Now you ask your CIA friends and then ship the donuts.
