Crossing the Jordan

President's Bush and Clinton & John Kerry
Crossing the Jordan

 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 opposite side 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 your
 sins on earth. The more you have sinned, the more you will sink into
 the water."

The three American sages of political lore looked at one another,
 trying to determine who should be the first brave soul to cross the
 Jordan River.

After some contemplation, George W. Bush volunteered to go first.

Slowly he began to wade out into the river, and slowly the water
 began to rise higher and higher, reaching to his waist. George began
 to sweat, thinking that all of his sins 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 which of the other brave souls was going next. A shock of
 surprise registered on his face as he saw John Kerry almost in the
 middle of the river with his ankles barely touching the water.

He turned to Michael and exclaimed, "I know John Kerry. He is an
 acquaintance of mine, and he has sinned much, much more than that!"

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