A joke that killed at the Republican Trial Lawyers gathering last week
"But I always remember walking in and there was one old cowboy over at the bar with his boot up on the rail, cowboy hat pulled down over his eyes. And I was introduced to him as Dick Cheney, candidate for Congress. And he looked up at me. He said, son, he said, you a Democrat? I said, no, sir. He said, are you a lawyer? I said, no, sir. He said I'll vote for you. (Laughter and applause.) He didn't care what I was for; he just knew what he didn't want. (Laughter.)"

5. Which one is that?
Is it about reincarnation, lesbian school teachers or Halloween? Or all of the above?

6. Notice the obvious

Nazi reference w/ the kid's brownshirt-esque attire. Apparently only Nazis believe in reincarnation, and celebrate witchcraft as well.

12. More wit from the Dick
"But anyway, delighted to be here today. This is a great organization. And I appreciate the welcome so much I'm almost tempted to run for office again. (Laughter and applause.) But just to make certain there's no confusion, let me be absolutely clear about my plans. (Laughter.) I'm not going to run for the presidential nomination in '08. We've a lot of great candidates out there, and I've got so much confidence in the field that I've agreed to lead the search committee to pick the nominee. (Laughter.) It's a joke. (Laughter.)"

13. Okay, now he's REALLY hitting his stride! This is hilarious material here:
"This has been a consequential presidency -- which has revitalized our economy and reasserted a confident American role in the world. Yet in the election of 2004, we did more than just campaign on a record. President Bush ran forthrightly on a clear agenda for this nation's future, and the voters responded by giving him a mandate. In this new term we are going to use that mandate to achieve great goals -- so we can leave the nation better, stronger, and safer than we found it."

:rofl:

18. let me try a few cowboy jokes. . .
So a New Mexico cowboy is leaving a crowded, under-funded special ed school after having dropped off his daughter who has autism. The autism might have been caused by the mercury vapor coming from one of the largest coal-burning power plants in the US but they can still pump that stuff out because of the Clear Skies Initiative. The other kids in the neighborhood all call her "Tammy the `tard" and make fun of her.

That's funny, right?


How about this one:
A cowboy falls off of his horse, can't work, and can't pay his medical bills so he tries to file for bankruptcy but can't because of the new bankruptcy bill. He can't get social security disability because the Republicans fucked social security up and he has to try to get welfare if he can. A few years later another bankruptcy bill passes and they take his son's college money. Enjoy working for poverty wages at the Albuquerque Walmart Bobby.

Pretty funny huh?


Here is another one:
A cowboy has a small ranch and it's been pretty dry the last few months. A huge brush fire kicks up but the funding for fire fighting in the West has been cut to give millionaires and billionaires tax cuts. The National Guard would help out but they are in Iraq trying not to get blown up. His house burns down and he has to move in with his wife's parents.

That is a knee slapper.


Last one:
So, the cowboy has a gay son and his son goes out with a few friends to Santa Fe to see a movie. They stop to get directions and a beer on the way. His son is beaten up by some rednecks in the parking lot of the bar. They smash his jaw and carve "fag" into his forehead with a buck knife. The boy is scarred for life and half his family disowns him because now everyone in town know their son is queer.

Hoooo weee that's funny!


So what do you think? Am I ready to tell a few cowboy jokes at the next GOP shindig?
