Late-Night Jokes About Bush From 2005
Compiled by Daniel Kurtzman
"President Bush just got back from Europe. He brought along a team of interpreters with him. It's the same guys he uses when he travels around America." --Jay Leno
"Bush spoke of the diplomatic progress he was making with Europe. [Clip of Bush: 'When we talk about Iran that's a place that I am getting good advice from European partners.'] Ohhh good advice? What did you learned from your European partners. [Clip of Bush: 'Iran is not Iraq.'] Although they do sound very similar. Are you sure you bombed the right one?" --Jon Stewart
"President Bush said when he goes to Europe, he's looking forward to talking about how we can extend peace even further around the world. Then the Pentagon told him, 'You know, Mr. President, we really don't have enough ammunition left to do that.'" --Jay Leno
"President Bush, bless his heart, is trying to cut the federal budget. Do you know what it is? Two and a half trillion dollars! And he's trying to cut wherever he can. As a matter of fact he is going to try and get rid of unnecessary White House employees. So apparently he is resigning." --David Letterman
"Tonight in his speech, President Bush introduced his plan for Social Security. His plan: take the security part out of it." --Jay Leno
"President Bush has been working on his inauguration, not the actual speech but the word inaugural." --Jay Leno

An older couple had a son, who was still living with his parents. The parents were a little worried, as the son was still unable to decide about his future career ... so they decided to do a small test.
They took a ten-dollar bill, a bible, and a bottle of whiskey, and put them on the front hall table ... then they hid, pretending they were not at home.
The father's plan was: "If our son takes the money, he will be a businessman, if he takes the bible, he will be a priest - but if he takes the bottle of whiskey, I'm afraid our son will be a drunkard."
So the parents hid in the nearby closet and waited nervously. Peeping through the keyhole they saw their son arrive ... the son saw the note they had left.
Then, he took the 10-dollar bill, looked at it against the light, and slid it in his pocket.
After that, he took the bible, flicked through it, and took it.
Finally he grabbed the bottle, opened it, and took an appreciative whiff to be assured of the quality ... then he left for his room, carrying all the three items.
The father slapped his forehead, and said: "Darn, it's even worse than I could ever have imagined ... Our son is going to be a politician!"

ON A PRESSING MATTER OF STATE
President Boris Yeltsin called President Bush with an emergency:
"Our largest condom factory has exploded!" the Russian President cried; "My people's favourite form of birth control! This is a true disaster!"
"Boris, the American people would be happy to do anything within their power to help you.", replied the President.
"I do need your help," said Yeltsin. "Could you possibly send 1,000,000 condoms ASAP to tie us over?"
"Why certainly! I'll get right on it!", said Bush.
"Oh, and one more small favour, please?", said Yeltsin.
"Yes?", replied the President.
"Could the condoms be red in colour and at least 10" long and 4" in diameter?" said Yeltsin.
"No problem," replied the President and, with that, Bush hung up and called the President of Trojan . "I need a favour, you've got to make 1,000,000 condoms right away and send them to Russia."
"Consider it done," said the President of Trojan.
"Great! Now listen, they have to be red in colour, 10" long and 4" wide."
"Easily done. Anything else?"
"Yeah," said the President, "Print 'MADE IN AMERICA, SIZE MEDIUM' on each one."

PRESIDENT BUSH'S STATEMENT FOLLOWING LONDON BOMBING
THE PRESIDENT:
Good afternoon. This morning, a series of bombs were detonated across the horse-drawn subway system of London. At this time, I just want to say to the people of England that even though America still holds the record for the biggest, most giganticest and most eye-popping terror attack, we nevertheless sympathize with you in your hour of pain because you folks always seem to do things in a smaller way that still seems important to you.
I realize that today's events change things in Britain. For instance, in the future, in addition to Nine-ElevenTM, you'll also talk about the all-new "Seven-Seven." And that will be hard, especially if you're like me, a guy for whom two sevens has always meant an invigorating beverage that mom slugs from a crystal tumbler every morning at breakfast. But we will adapt. Because circumstances demand we must. Maybe next time it will be "Seven-Eleven," which will be a whole lot easier to remember. Every "Big Gulp" will be like a really convenient and refreshing memorial service.
I also think I speak for all English-speaking persons when I say, it's days like this make all of us so confident in the wisdom and effectiveness of our strategy to "take the battle to the terrorists." Clearly, by killing tens of thousands of their civilians over the past four years, we have weakened our enemies to the point where they can never again fly planes into New York's World Trade Center. We have driven them underground. Or, more precisely, into your Underground.
Moving forward, despite today's events, I have confidence in Britain's future. Why? Because unlike your age-old, swarthy enemies the Spanishese, you Limeys will not blink and promptly stage an electoral coup just because of a few measly transit bombs. And why not? Because your elections already happened!
And that means one thing: even if you're now too afraid to commute to work, you're still riding the USA Crusader Express for the foreseeable future. And as such, I'd like to offer five America-tested tips on how to make the coming months and years of post-terror living as productive and meaningful as possible:
1. Rally behind your suddenly non-poodly leader, and DO NOT QUESTION HIM.
2. Refrain from any and all analysis of events which are more complex than "THEY HATE FREEDOM."
3. Turn in droves to jingoistic, Rupert Murdoch-owned media outlets.
4. Smother your funny-looking Rovers and MGs and Minis with plenty of "We Will Not Forget" and "I Support..." ribbons.
5. Thirst for the blood of the oil-hoarding sand heathens.
Yes, just follow those simple steps, and before you know it, everything will be peachy keen. Because haven't you heard? We're WINNING the super-successful War on Terror, and the enemy is in its weak and powerless death throws. It's true! Would I lie to you? (Winks.)
Oh, and to all those Englandish people who died today for my inerrant decision to blow the crap out of Iraq, I want to extend a throaty Texas "THANKY, PARDNER!" (Thumbs Up.)
Four surgeons are discussing who makes the best kind of patient to operate on.
The first surgeon says, "I like to see accountants on my operating table because when you open them up, everything inside is numbered."
The second surgeon responds, "Yeah, but you should try electricians! Everything inside them is colour coded."
The third surgeon says, "No, I really think librarians are the best; Everything inside them is in alphabetical order."
But the fourth surgeon shut them all up when he observed: "You're all wrong. Politicians are the easiest to operate on. There are no guts, no heart, no balls, no brains and no spine, and the head and the ass are interchangeable."

3 questions...!!!

Attorney General John Ashcroft was visiting an Elementary school.
After the typical civics presentation, he announces,
"Alright, boys and girls, you can all ask me questions now."
A young boy named Bobby raises his hand and says,
"I have three questions:

1. How did Bush win the election with fewer votes than Gore?
2. Why are you using the USA Patriot Act to limit Americans? civil
liberties?
3. And why hasn?t the U.S. caught Osama Bin Laden yet?"

Just then the bell sounds and all the kids run out to the playground.
Fifteen minutes later, the kids come back in class and again.
Ashcroft continues, "I?m sorry we were interrupted by the bell.
Lets continue with the questions."
A young girl raises her hand and says, "I have five questions:

1. How did Bush win the election with fewer votes than Gore?

liberties?
3. Why hasn?t the U.S. caught Osama Bin Laden yet?"
4. Why did the bell go off 20 minutes early?

George W. Bush begins his speech to open the Olympic Games.
"Ooooooo! Ooooooo! Ooooooo! Ooooooo! Ooooooo!"
An aide comes over and whispers: "Ahem, Mr President, those are the Olympic rings. Your speech is underneath."
A U.S. Marine squad was marching north of Basra when they came upon an Iraqi terrorist, badly injured and unconscious.
On the opposite side of the road was an American Marine in similar but less serious state.
The Marine was conscious and alert and as first aid was given to both men, the squad leader asked the injured Marine what had happened.
The Marine reported, "I was heavily armed and moving north along the highway here, and coming south was a heavily armed insurgent. We saw each other and both took cover in the ditches along the road. I yelled to him that Saddam Hussein is a miserable, lowlife, scumbag, and he yelled back that Senator Ted Kennedy is a good-for- nothing, fat, left wing liberal drunk. So I said that Osama Bin Laden dresses and acts like a frigid, mean spirited woman!"
He retaliated by yelling, "Oh yeah? Well so does Hillary Clinton!"
"And, there we were, standing in the middle of the road shaking hands, when a truck hit us."
