Does anybody really believe Teflon Tony is that intelligent !!!!!!!
On a trip to Great Britain, George W. Bush had a meeting with Queen Elizabeth. "How," he asked her, "does one manage to run a country so smoothly?"
"That's easy," the Queen replied. "You surround yourself with intelligent ministers and advisers."
"But how can I tell whether they are intelligent or not?" Bush inquired.
"You ask them a riddle," she replied, and with that pressed a button and Asked her secretary to get Prime Minister Tony Blair on the speaker phone. When that was arranged, the Queen said, "Mr. Prime Minister, I have a riddle I'd like you to answer for me. Your parents had a child and it was not your sister and it was not your brother. Who was this child?"
Blair replied, "That's easy. The child was me."
"Very good," said the Queen. "That's all I wished to ask."
When President Bush returned to Washington, he called in his chief of staff Karl Rove. "I have a riddle for you," said the President, "and the answer is very important. Your parents had a child and it was not your sister and it was not your brother. Who was this child?"
Karl Rove replied, "Yes, it is clearly very important that we determine this answer, as no child must be left behind. Can I deliberate on this for awhile?"
"Yes," said Bush, "I'll give you four hours to come up with the answer."
So Karl Rove called a meeting of the White House Staff and asked them to solve the riddle. Much discussion ensued and many suggestions were made, but nobody had a satisfactory answer. Karl Rove was quite upset, wondering how he would respond to the President. As he was walking back to the Oval Office, he happened to run into former secretary of State Colin Powell. "Mr. Secretary," he said, "can you answer this riddle for me? Your parents had a child and it was not your sister and it was not your brother. Who was this child?"
"That's easy," said Powell. "The child was me."
So Rove went on to the Oval Office and told President Bush, "I think I know the answer to your riddle. The child was Colin Powell."
"No, you idiot!" shouted George W. Bush. "The child was Tony Blair!"
