Possibly my favorite:
I heard the President's visit to the troops didn't go so well...
Barack Obama meets with the Queen of England. He asks her, "How do you run such an efficient government? Are there any tips you can give to me?"
"Well," says the Queen, "the most important thing is to surround yourself with intelligent people."
Obama frowns. "But how do I know the people around me are really intelligent?" he asks.
"Oh, that's easy," says the Queen. "You just ask them to answer a simple riddle."
Just then Gordon Brown walks into the room.
"Gordon, your mother and father have a child," says the Queen. "It is not your brother and it is not your sister. Who is it?"
Brown answers, "Oh. That would be ... me, your majesty?"
"Yes! Very good," says the Queen.
Upon his return to Washington, D.C., Obama asks Joe Biden the same question. "Joe. Your mother and your father have a kid. It's not your brother and it's not your sister. Who is it?"
"I'm not sure," says Biden. "Let me get back to you on that one." He goes to his advisers and asks every one, but no one can give him an answer. Finally, he ends up in the men's room and recognizes Robert Gates' shoes in the next stall. Biden asks Gates, "Robert! Can you answer this for me? Your mother and father have a child and it's not your brother or your sister. Who is it?"
Gates responds, "That's easy. It's me!"
Biden smiles, and says, "Thanks!" Then, he goes back to speak with Obama.
"Say, I did some research and I have the answer to that riddle. It's Robert Gates."
Obama gets up, stomps over to Biden, and angrily yells into his face, "No, you idiot! It's Gordon Brown!"
"Well," says the Queen, "the most important thing is to surround yourself with intelligent people."
Obama frowns. "But how do I know the people around me are really intelligent?" he asks.
"Oh, that's easy," says the Queen. "You just ask them to answer a simple riddle."

Boy, I'm sure glad nobody has posted a pic of Pelosi in a bikini!

You ever notice how it's been four years since the election and Democrats still have to try and crucify Palin, the VP Nominee? Wonder why that is and that they have to continue to bring up Bush?
Well if you had a record like Biden and Obama have then you want to deflect attention onto anything else. What a stretch of desperation.
no, we're still trying to get you rt. wingnuts to accept the fact that bush made one hellofa mess!

It's not like she went quietly back to Alaska to finish her duties as Gov.
And dog, you DO know that is a photoshoped pic of her in the bikini don't you ? I would think she would actually look a lot better than whoever that body is.

Love it! Consider any other venue or occupation and find anywhere that such incompetence is rewarded. Have a football team, under a new coach, not turn around a losing program, even from another coach, in three years and have it not improve ANY and see if that coach remains. How about a company that's run the same way or any department of a company. If someone cannot turn around a mess even that they inherited then they don't get promoted or don't keep the job their in.
Obama had two years to do ANYTHING he wanted with NO Republican opposition. Republicans could do nothing to stop anything that the Democrats wanted to do and they couldn't do anything to make things better. Gas prices are vastly greater than when Bush left office. Unemployment is still above 8.0 and hasn't dropped and confidence in the economy is at all time lows. The Democrats and Obama have done Nothing yet you folks are willing to re-elect them? Now that's comical and laughable. What isn't laughable is the state of the Economy and the FACT that the current Administration has been able to do nothing to help it. There is a total lack of ability there so what makes you think another four years will be different?
gbrk... you seem to have "fox news entertainment" syndrome....
please start checking your facts... President Obama had a majority of congress for 133 days... that's a LONG way from 2 years! what's "comical and laughable" is that the republicans came in with the attitude "i'm doing whatever gets obama out of office" and now, you think people have forgotten. 34 votes to repeal obamacare and not one vote cast on a jobs bill... yep, you rt. wingnuts have america's best interest at heart.

Yes, I do know she never made that statement. These pictures that I post here in politics are all created by people who are fairly good(most of them anyhow) with Photoshop. Just for the record the pic of her in the swimsuit is just her head on another persons body and has been floating around on the internet for about a year now. I just assumed everyone knew these pictures are photo shopped. If you will notice the pic of her head in the swimsuit picture came from this picture 
only her head has been mirror imaged and shrunk down is all. There is no shortage of these pictures out there. All one has to do is type in "funny Sarah Palin Pics" or "funny Obama pics" into google and the supply is endless. I think they're very funny myself. I have no political agenda and just enjoy the poking fun at all these politicians. No one is above being made fun of. 
They are all fair game in my opinion. I love Saturday Night Live BTW. I think Tina Fey does an awesome Palin.
You gotta admit they do look a lot alike.

133 days is probably equal to 2 Congressional work years!
