   Not long ago, Joe Biden told this guy in a wheelchair to stand up and take a bow.

   Understandably, Biden withstood a torrent of jeers and criticism for the obvious gaff.

   Some rock-ribbed Republicans went so far as to characterize Mr. Biden's behavior as "sheer cruelty."

   A few diehard Democrats posited that the Vice President--being a believing Christian--may simply have been trying to heal the man.

   Both these groups were kidding--I think.

A Democratic senator from Arkansas is not sure if she'll vote for the health care bill because she wants to make sure that it's good for the people in her state.  I say, "Vote for the bill.  We'll fly all 7 people in your state to our New York doctors whenever they're sick!."

Bill Clinton plans to visit Capitol Hill today to discuss health care legislation with Senate Democrats.  Clinton wants to be sure that any health care bill covers STD testing.

George W. Bush is now a "motivational speaker".  He's apparently quite successful at it too; his first talk motivated the audience to register as Democrats and stop pronouncing it "Nuke-ya-lure".

They aren't stupid.  Senate Democrats  know if they don't pass a health care bill,  they are going to need those jobless benefits.

During an appearance in the Democratic Republic of Congo, when asked what "Mr. Clinton" thought about a particular issue, Hillary Clinon snapped back "my husband is not the secretary of state, I AM."

Her African audience, in a demonstration of understanding, promptly bound her, cut off her clitoris, then sewed her vagina shut.

until I saw how Barack Obama deals with Republicans and Blue Dog Democrats...

While her husband Vince might find himself on the receiving end of “The People’s Elbow” if he were to run for public office, former World Wrestling Entertainment CEO Linda McMahon is being treated like a serious candidate after announcing that she will step into the ring and run for the Connecticut Senate seat presently held by Democrat Christopher Dodd. McMahon is being promoted as a self-funded fiscal conservative but socially left-leaning outsider with a vicious Pile Driver and a callous Cactus Clothesline.

Needless to say, the announcement gave myself, as well as McMahon's fellow Republican challengers, a chance to make corny jokes about whether she was "a heavyweight or a welterweight," but the fact remains she has proven herself a worthy adversary. Her history of savage steel cage matches and uncanny aerial abilities when leaping headfirst from the top turnbuckle only serve to confirm speculation that she will prove a fearless and formidable opponent.

As the public weighs in on McMahon’s candidacy, one political expert went so far as to say she "could improve the image of the party" in the state… because, as we all know, nothing spruces up a party’s image like knee-high boots, form-fitting spandex and a mask.

In a joint speech to Congress, President Obama called to both parties to help fix the nation's ailing health care system. President Obama asked both Democrats and Republicans to submit proposals that address the health care problems in America.    The opposing Republican’s suggested creating a panel to determine whether this bill should live or die.
