Wading Across Jordan
(No Ratings Yet)
Loading ...Bill Clinton, Al Gore and George W. Bush died and found themselves standing on the other side of the Jordan River looking across at the Promised Land.
The Archangel Michael was standing on the other side and shouted over to the three surprised American, “Contrary to what you have been taught, each of you will have to wade across the Jordan River.”
As Michael saw their perplexed looks, he assured them by saying, “Don’t worry. You will sink only proportionally, according to your sins on earth. The more you have sinned, the more you will sink into the water.”
The three American sages of political lore looked at one another, trying to determine who would be the first brave soul to cross the Jordan River.
Finally, George W. Bush volunteered to go first. Slowly he began to wade out into the river, and slowly the water began to get higher and higher, reaching to his waist. George began to sweat, thinking of all his sins that were coming back to haunt him. He was beginning to wonder if he would ever see the other side. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, he began to emerge on the river’s bank.
As he ascended to the other side, he looked behind him to see which one of the other brave souls was going next. A shock of surprise registered on his face, as he saw Al Gore almost in the middle of the river, and the water was only up to his ankles.
He turned to Michael and exclaimed, “I know Al Gore. Al Gore is a friend of mine, and he has sinned much, much more than that!”
Before the Archangel Micael could reply, Al Gore shouted back, “I’m standing on Clinton’s shoulders!”
