Say, did you hear the one about ...

This popped up in the email inbox the other day, part of the churn of political jokes floating around out there:

Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and John Mc Cain are flying together to a debate. Obama looks at Clinton, chuckles, and says, "You know, I could throw a $1,000 bill out of the window right now and make somebody very happy." Clinton shrugs and counters, "I could throw ten $100 bills out of the window and make ten people very happy." McCain pipes up: "So? I could throw 100 $10 bills out of the window and make a hundred people very happy." Up front, the pilot mutters to the copilot: "I could throw all three of them out of the window and make 156 million people very happy."

Okay, not exactly Jon Stewart, but it's a good lead-in here on this spring Friday to open the comments sections for your campaign jokes. Clean, please, and relatively tasteful. Remember, your mother reads this blog.

Sadly, the joke is on us.

Democrats drop the ball - Republicans run with it - Everyone loses - Hilarity ensues.

Barack, Hillary and John are on a plane. The pilot comes on the speaker and announces the plane has had a mechanical failure and will go down (there are no parachutes).

Barack open the door and states he will sacrifice himself for change. Hillary gets up and states she to can sacrifice herself for change and follows Barack.

John stands up looks around and declares himself the winner (as the plane crashes and burns).
