Got this joke via email, had to pass it on.. "Up in Flames"

A lobbyist, driving on his way home from work in Washington, D.C., came to a dead halt in traffic and thought to himself,
"Wow, this seems worse than usual."

He noticed a police officer walking between the lines of stopped cars, so he rolled down his window and asked the
officer..."What's the hold-up?"

The officer replied, "The President is depressed, so he stopped his motorcade and is threatening to douse himself in gasoline
and set himself on fire . . . . He says no one believes his stories about why we went to war in Iraq . . . or the connection
between Saddam and al-Qa'ida . . . or that his tax cuts will help anyone except his wealthy friends . . . . The press called
him on the lie about Iraq trying to buy uranium from Niger, and now Campbell Brown is threatening to sue him for a sexual
innuendo he made at a recent press conference . . . . So, we're taking up a collection for him."

The lobbyist asked, "How much have you got so far?"

The officer replied, "About 14 gallons, but a lot of folks are still siphoning."

and who is that, anyway? :shrug:

Also this joke is older than I am. It has been used with diferent political figures starring in the lead role since cars were invented.
