Gore joke

Given that Al Gore has no job, he decided to take a sightseeing
vacation to Europe. While visiting Europe, he is invited to
tea with the Queen. He asks her what her leadership philosophy
is. She says that it is to surround herself with intelligent
people. He asks how she knows if they're intelligent. "I do
so by asking them the right questions," says the Queen. "Allow
me to demonstrate."

She phones Toni Blair and says, "Mr. Prime Minister, 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? Tony Blair responds, "It's me, ma'am."

"Correct. Thank you and goodbye, sir," says the Queen. She
hangs up and says, "Did you get that, Mr. Gore?"

"Yes ma'am. Thanks a lot. I'll definitely be using that!"

Upon returning home, he decides he'd better put some of his old
friends to the test. He calls Bill Clinton and says, "Hi,
Bill, I wonder if you can answer a question for me."

"Why, of course, Al. What's on your mind?" "Uhh, your mother
has a child, and your father has a child, and this child is not
your brother or sister. Who is it?" Clinton hems and haws and
finally asks, "Can I think about it and get back to you?" Gore
agrees and Clinton hangs up.

Clinton immediately calls members of his old staff, and they
puzzle over the question for several hours, but nobody can come
up with an answer.

Finally, in desperation, Clinton calls Colin Powell at the
State Department and explains his problem. "Now look here, your
mother has a child, and your father has a child, and this child
is not your brother or sister. Who is it?" Powell answers
immediately, "It's me, of course, you idiot."

Much relieved, Clinton rushes back to call Gore and exclaims.
"I know the answer Al! I know who it is! It's Colin Powell!!

And Gore replies in disgust, "Wrong, it's Tony Blair."
