Washington Joke Roundup

And no, we don’t mean Dennis Kucinich and Ron Paul sharing a cab.
We’re talking actual jokes, fresh material for the on-going political comedy routine.
Here are two delightful Washington-related jokes we’ve come across recently that we hadn’t heard before but are worth sharing.
From the Weekly Standard:
If you watched any of General David Petraeus’s testimony before a variety of congressional committees last week, THE SCRAPBOOK thought you might enjoy seeing “the rest of the picture” (as Paul Harvey might put it). Spend enough time in Washington, and someone back home will inevitably ask if you ever thought of going into public service. We’ve always said no and joked that there’s a two-word reason for that: breakfast meetings.
And from The American Spectator:
“How does a farmer double his income?”
“Get a second mailbox.”
I was first told this joke 17 years ago by a friend who was both a farmer and a director of a state agricultural agency. It still resonates with me, today, as we witness another harvest season, not in the fertile fields across America but here in Washington, D.C.
Heard any other new ones lately? Please share.

I dunno, I think “Fred Thompson” is pretty funny.
