Joke on Intelligent Politicians

While visiting Googleplex, George Bush is invited to tea with Larry Sergey.
He asks Larry what his leadership philosophy is. He says that, it is
to surround himself with intelligent people.

Bush asks how he knows if they're intelligent.

"I do so by asking them the right questions," says Larry. "Allow me
to demonstrate."

Bush watches as Larry phones Eric Schmidt and says, "Eric, please answer this question: your mother has a child,
and your father has a child, and this child is not your brother or
sister. Who is it?"

Eric immediately responds, "It's me!"

"Correct. Thank you and good-bye" says Larry. He hangs up and
says,"Did you get that, Mr. Bush?" Bush nods: "Yes Larry
Thanks a lot. I'll definitely be using that!" Bush, upon returning to
Washington,decides he'd better put Condoleeza Rice to the test.

Bush summons her to the White House and says, "Condoleeza, I wonder
if you can answer a question for me."

"Why, of course, sir. What's on your mind?"

Bush poses the question: "Uhh, your mother has a child, and your
father has a child, and this child is not your brother or your
sister.Who is it?"

Rice was puzzled and finally asks, "Can I think about it and get back
to you?" Bush agrees, and Rice leaves.

Rice immediately calls a meeting of senior senators, and they puzzle
over the question for several hours, but nobody can come up with an
answer. Finally, in desperation, Rice calls Colin Powell and explains
the problem.

"Mr. Powell, your mother has a child, and your father has a child,
and this child is not your brother or your sister. Who is it?" Powell
answers immediately, "It's me, of course."

Much relieved, Rice rushes back to the White House, finds George
Bush, and exclaims, "I know the answer, sir! I know who it is! It's
our Colin Powell!"

And Bush replies in disgust, "Wrong, its Eric Schmidt!"
