George Bush - IQ

Repli · 15-07-2004 2:06pm #1

President George Bush is on a trip to several European countries.
While visiting England, he is invited to tea with the Queen. He asks
her what her leadership philosophy is.
She says that it is to surround herself with intelligent people.
He asks how she knows if they're intelligent.
"I do so by asking them the right questions," says the Queen.
"Allow me to demonstrate." The Queen phones Tony Blair, puts him on a speaker
phone and says, "Mr. Prime Minister, please answer this question for me.
"Your mother has a child, your father has a child, and this child
is not your brother or sister. Who is it?"
Tony Blair responds, "It's me, madam."
"Correct. Thank you and goodbye, sir," says the Queen. She hangs
up and says, "Did you get that, Mr. President?"
"Yes ma'am. Thanks a lot. I'll definitely be using that!"
Upon returning home, he decides he'd better put some of his old
friends to the test. He calls Dick Cheney first and says, "Hi, Dick, I
wonder if you can answer a question for me."
"Why, of course, Mr President. What's on your mind?"
"Well, your mother has a child and your father has a child, and
this child is not your brother or your sister. Who is it?"
Cheney hums and haws and finally asks, "Can I think about it and
get back to you?" Bush agrees, and Cheney hangs up. Cheney immediately calls
members of his staff and they puzzle over the question for several hours, but
nobody can come up with an answer.
Finally, in desperation, Cheney calls Colin Powell at the State
Department and explains his problem. "Now look here, Colin, your mother has
a child, your father has a child, and this child is not your brother or
your sister. Who is it?"
Powell answers immediately, "It's me, of course, you idiot."
Much relieved, Cheney rushes back to call Bush and exclaims, "I
know the answer, sir! I know who it is! It's Colin Powell!"
And Bush replies in disgust, "Wrong, it's Tony Blair!"

Still funny, but everytime there's an idiot in the public spotlight that joke seems to get resurected. I remember hearing it years ago with Graham Taylor (England coach) being the idiot and Jack Charlton in the Queen's role.
