This joke was told by Peggy Norman who used to be
Ronald Reagan's White House Speechwriter.
Al Gore was in London and met the Queen. Ever the
policy wonk, instead of asking her about race
horses, he quizzed her on her leadership philosophy.
The Queen said she found the best way to govern
was to surround herself with intelligent people.
"But how do you know they are intelligent" asked
Gore. "I ask them telling questions" said the
Queen and promptly phoned Tony Blair.
"Mr. Blair" the Queen said "your mother has a
child, your father has a child and this child is
not your brother or your sister. Who is it?"
"Why it is me," said the Prime Minister without a
pause. "Correct" said the Queen.
Gore returned to America and called George W.
Mr. president, may I ask you a question?" he
said. "By all means" said the President.
"Your mother has a child, your father has a child
and this child is not your brother and your
sister. Who is it,?"
George Bush was stumped and remained silent for a
while before saying "May I get back to you on
this one AL?" He asked all his closest aides
before finally asking Colin Powell. To whom he
posed the question. Powell like Blair without
hesitation said "It's me"
George W rang Gore and said "I know the answer to
your question. Its Colin Powell".
"Wrong" said Gore "It's Tony Blair!!"
