You look for factual accuracy and total originality in jokes?

I do. There is plenty of accurate funny material. Jokes based on
inaccurate premises are stupid and lame.

Monty Python were lame?
The Marx Brothers were lame?
Abbot and Costello also lame?

There's a difference between general humor and jokes like the one
under discussion. The above comedians were actually funnyand told
good jokes that made everyone laugh. The joke under discussion isn't
funny, is obviously crafted by someone with BDS who exposed their own
ignorance. And that IS funny, because it's the BDS crowd that
always tries to portray Bush as the ignorant one. Yet, they don't
even know what the White House Marine Guard actually does.







That is going to come as quite a shock to a lot of people.
After such trauma, I hope they'll be able to recover their senses of
humor!
