Saint Peter is standing duty at the Pearly Gates when who shows up but
40 White House staffers from the Bush administration.
Saint Peter: " What do you want? "
Them: " We want in. "
Saint Peter: "Wait here. I'll have to talk to God about this." He'll have to
check your Book of Life to learn of your deeds on earth.
Saint Peter departs briefly and goes to see God.
Saint Peter: "God there are 40 Bush staffers at the Pearly Gates. They want to enter Heaven. What do I do - Only three have clean hands and pure hearts?
GOD: Tell the three they may enter and tell the rest to return to earth and try to correct the wrongs they commited against their constituents
and their country.
Saint Peter: "Roger that, God."
Saint Peter goes back to the Pearly Gates. Upon arriving, he immediately turns around and runs back to see God again--at flank speed.
Saint Peter: "God, God, the only ones still there are the three you are allowing to enter Heaven. The rest are not there any more!"
God: "The other 37 staffers are gone?"
Saint Peter: "They are gone and so are the Pearly Gates!"
God: "Oh well, Lucifer's hotel needs a little beauty, BUT, the high heat
will soon melt the Gates into liquid."
