Great Jokes

There sure has been a lot of discussion over the last couple days in the world of politics over the funny joke that John Kerry told during a speech in front of a group of college students. Some people found it offensive but that’s just the thing about jokes – they're supposed to be offensive to somebody. Otherwise, why would it be funny? Just like Rush Limbaugh's funny joke about Michael J. Fox. That one was really funny because of the way Rush offended Fox's disease. Illness is always funny.
But I think there are a few other jokes that have been told by Kerry and other politicians lately that need to be recognized as well for how funny they are. So I've put together a list of the best jokes of campaign 2006. So, without further a duo -
