One current and one former head of state try their hand at telling jokes.

President Asif Zardari reveals the most important clause in his agreement with Pervez Musharraf:

During an informal chat with a group of journalists at the Presidency, the president said the guarantors had decided that “Musharraf would play golf in his post-presidential life.”

And former US president George W. Bush, as quoted by one of his former speechwriters, comments on vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin:

“I’m trying to remember if I’ve met her before. I’m sure I must have.” His eyes twinkled, then he asked, “What is she, the governor of Guam?”

When Bush of all people uses you as a punchline, it may be time to disappear from the public eye.
