Bill Clinton, John Kerry 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 Americans, "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 reassured 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 shall be the first brave soul to cross the river. Finally
George 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 all of his sins were coming back to
haunt him. He was beginning to wonder if he would ever see the other side.
Finally, after what seemed 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
of the other brave souls was going next. A shock of surprise registered on
his face, as he saw John Kerry almost in the middle of the river and only
his ankles were barely touching the water. He turned to Michael and
exclaimed, "I know John Kerry, and he has sinned much, much more than that."

The Archangel Michael replied, "He's standing on Clinton's shoulders."

its still a good one even though they didn't drown.

Truth is, the river bottom is so full of former politicians that anyone could walk across.
