The Real Reason Kerry Lost The Election

John Kerry meets with the Queen of England. He asks her, “Your Majesty, How do you run such an efficient government? Are there any tips you can

give to me?”





“Well,” says the Queen, “the most important thing is to surround yourself with intelligent people.”





Kerry frowns. “But how do I know the people around me are really intelligent?”





The Queen takes a sip of tea. “Oh, that’s easy. You just ask them to answer an intelligence riddle.” The Queen pushes a button on her intercom. “Please send Tony Blair in here, would you?”

“Answer me this, please Tony. Your mother and father have a child. It is not your brother and it is not your sister Who is it?”





Without pausing for a moment, Tony Blair answers, “That would be me.” “Yes! Very good,” says the Queen.





Back in the U.S. Kerry asks to speak with Vice President Nominee John Edwards. “John, answer this for me. Your mother and your father have a child. It’s not your brother and it’s not your sister. Who is it?”





“I’m not sure,” says Edwards. “Let me get back to you on that one.” John Edwards goes to his advisors and asks every one, but none can give him an answer. Finally, he ends up in the men’s room and recognizes Colin Powell’s shoes in the next stall.





Edwards shouts, “Colin! Can you answer this for me? Your mother and father have a child and it’s not your brother or your sister. Who is it?”





Colin Powell yells back, “That’s easy. It’s me!”





John Edwards smiles. “Thanks!” Edwards goes back to John Kerry. “Say, I did some research and I have the answer to that riddle. It’s Colin

Powell.”





Kerry gets up, stomps over to John Edwards, and angrily yells in to his face, “No, you idiot! It’s Tony Blair!”





No wonder why they lost the election.
