It's a disgrace that a US President would act like this. Just like it was
a disgrace when Clinton lied about "having sex with that woman." I guess
they should both be impeached. Clinton for lying about sex, and Bush
for lying about the reason for going to war.

Did you hear the one about the President...

US President George W. Bush made a joke about weapons of mass
destruction not being found in Iraq at a late-night dinner for Amerian
journalists yesterday.

Mr Bush poked fun at himself and other members of his administration
at the annual White House dinner for Radio and Television
correspondents in Washington.

Mr Bush used a slide show of White House photographs to entertain his
dinner audience. Here, he said, he was pictured using trading cards to

comedy

In one, he showed a picture of him down on all fours rummaging under a
desk in the Oval Office, saying "Those weapons of mass destruction
have got to be somewhere."

It was quickly followed by another similar picture. "Nope, no weapons
over there," he said.

In his four years on the national and international stage, Mr Bush has
often been ridiculed for his tendency to muddle sentences and confuse
words - and even invent new ones.

He made this tendency the butt of another of his jokes, saying:
"Fortunately my verbal phonation and electrocution have improved."

There was a shot of Vice President Dick Cheney, a frequent butt of
gentle Bush ribbing, holding his fingers a few inches apart. Mr Bush
said: "Whenever you ask him a question, he replies: 'Let's see what my
little friend says'."

And there was Mr Bush again, in an odd contortion in front of his
national security adviser, Condoleezza Rice.

He said he was trying to explain to her the foreign policy of
Democratic challenger John Kerry.

His slide show segued into a sombre ending, showing a group of special
forces troops in Afghanistan at the site where they buried a piece of
the fallen World Trade Centre in commemoration of the dead from
September 11.

About 1500 guests attended the dinner.

Asked at a news conference if the weapons issue was an appropriate
matter for jokes, Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld declined to
comment, saying he had not been at the dinner.

The Bush administration launched a war a year ago against Iraq with
its prime justification being its accusation that Iraq possessed
weapons of mass destruction. Searches since the fall of former
dictator Saddam Hussein so far have not turned up such arms.

The chief US inspector, David Kay, said in January he thought it was
unlikely any would be found.
