Four politicians are caught in a tornado, and off they whirled to OZ. They finally make it to the Emerald City and came before the Great Wizard.
“WHAT BRINGS YOU BEFORE THE GREAT WIZARD OF OZ?”
Barack Obama stepped forward timidly: “I fumbled the Russian invasion of Georgia problem, was outfoxed by the Clintons on convention appearances, and was too meandering in my answers to Rev. Rick Warren's questions so as not to offend anyone in the country. I've come for some courage.”
“NO PROBLEM!” says the Wizard. “WHO IS NEXT?”
Nancy Pelosi steps forward, “Well, I don't understand one thing about economics—especially the Law of Supply and Demand. I don't even know which Congress passed it or whether we can repeal it. I.......I think I need a brain.”
“DONE” says the Wizard. “WHO COMES NEXT BEFORE THE GREAT AND POWERFUL OZ?”
Up stepped Harry Reid sadly, “I'm told by the American people that I need a heart. They also told me that I need a personality and that I'm a crotchety old obstructionist fool, but I'll take your gifts one at a time--just like back at home.”
“I'VE HEARD THEY'RE TRUE!” says the Wizard. “CONSIDER IT DONE.”
There is a great silence in the hall. Bill Clinton is just standing there, looking around, but doesn't say a word. Irritated, the Wizard finally asks, “WHAT DO YOU WANT?”
“Is Dorothy here?”
A faint voice could be heard from behind the curtain that sounded just like John Edwards' voice: "Bill wait your turn. I have damn little time before Elizabeth comes out of remission again."
