How interesting. I knew most of these jokes, with
other characters. For example:
>
> George W. Bush's Intelligence Quiz
>
(...)
>
> Much relieved, Helms rushes back to the White House
> and exclaims, "I know the answer, sir! I know who
> it is! It's Colin Powell!" And Bush replies
> in disgust, "Wrong, you dumb ass, It's Tony Blair!"
>
This joke is _identical_ to one Lula joke, that has
been running for years [at least 4 years, when Lula
lost his 3rd election for President. Which should
teach us something about perseverance]
> -----
> Bush at the Pearly Gates
>
(...)
>
> George W. looks bewildered and says, "Who are
> Einstein and Picasso?"
>
> Saint Peter sighs and says, "Come on in, George."
>
This joke runs identically to one FHC [former
President Cardoso] joke, except the punchline.
FHC's punchline was: "I but I don't know how to
to anything!"
> ----
> A little boy wanted $100 badly and prayed for two
> weeks but nothing happened.
(...)
>
> Dear God,
>
> Thank you very much for sending the money, however,
> I noticed that for some reason you had to send it
> through Washington D.C. and, as usual,
> those crooks deducted $95.00.

I knew this as a Santa Claus joke, and it much more
dark and evil: the guy is suffering from an uncurable
disease, the postmen open his letter to Santa Claus,
gather the money he needs for surgery among them,
and send him half of it. His reply is for Santa
to send him the money in person, because the m-f"%$%"&
of the Post Office stole half of it.
> ----
>
> The guy exclaimed, "Why are you gonna kill a bicycle
> repairman?!"
>
> Bush turned to Powell and said, "See, I told you no
> one would worry about the 10 million Iraqis!"
>
I've heard several versions of this joke, with your
favourite race/ethnicity/soccer affiliation/profession/etc
as the people that should be mass-murdered.
> -----
> George W. Bush was walking through an airport last week,
> when he saw an old man with white hair, a long white
> beard, wearing a long white robe and holding a staff.
> He walked up to the man, who was staring at the
> ceiling, and "Excuse me sir, aren't you Moses?"
>
Ok, this one I never heard before :-)
>
> ---
> This following poem is composed entirely of actual
> quotes from George W. Bush. It was compiled and
> arranged by Washington Post writer Richard

This is also news to me :-)
