George W. read some jokes at the "Alfalfa Club" dinner on Saturday, and it really shows he can laugh at the smoking ruins of the nation he destroyed and the monsters he set loose upon the Earth. Some of his comedy gold, courtesy of the WaPo:

* As always, I'm delighted to be back at Alfalfa. When I was here last year, my approval rating was in the 30s, my nominee for the Supreme Court had just withdrawn and my vice president had shot someone -- ah, those were the good old days.

* Hey, let me give you an update on that satellite that was blown out of the sky last week. The Chinese didn't do it. Cheney was out hunting again.
