Crossing the river

Bill Clinton, John Kerry and George W. Bush died and found themselves standing on the other side of the Jordan River, looking across at the promised land.

The Archangel Michael was standing on the other and shouted over to the three surprised Americans, "Contrary to what you have been taught, each of you will have to wade across the Jordan River." As Michael saw their perplexed looks, he reassured them by saying,"Don't worry. You will sink only proportionally according to the lies you have told on earth. The more you have lied the more you will sink into the water." The three American sages of political lore looked at one another, trying to determine who shall be the first brave soul to cross the Jordan River.

Finally George W. Bush volunteered to go first. Clinton, knowing he had told many lies decided he would have to face up to his life of lies. John Kerry, hero that he is, stood back until the others had taken a stand on what they would do.
Slowly George W. Bush began into the river, and slowly the water began to get higher and higher, reaching to his waist. George began to sweat, thinking that all of his lies were coming back to haunt him. He was beginning to wonder if he would ever see the other side.
Finally, after what seemed liked an eternity, he began to emerge on the river's bank. As he ascended to the other side, he looked behind him to see how the other two were doing. A shock of surprise registered on his face as he saw John Kerry almost in the middle of the river and only his ankles barely touching the water. He turned to Michael and exclaimed, "I don't believe this, the man told constant lies, he rarely told the truth. I can't believe you have fallen for his lies too."


Archangel Michael replied calmly ..."He's standing on Clinton's shoulders."
