The old priest lay dying in the hospital. For years he had faithfully served the people of the nation's capital. He motioned for one of his aides to come near.
"Yes father" said the aide.
"I would really like to see Ted Kennedy and Hillary Clinton before I die",
whispered the priest.
"I'll see what I can do, father" replied the aide.
The aide sent the request to the Senate and waited for a response. Soon the
word arrived. Kennedy and Clinton would be delighted to visit the priest.
As they went to the hospital, Clinton commented to Kennedy "I don't know why the old priest wants to see us, but it will certainly help our images after the number the Republicans have done on us." Kennedy couldn't help but agree.
When they arrived at the priest's room, the priest took Kennedy's hand in his right hand and Clinton's hand in his left. There was silence and a look of serenity on the old priest's face.
Finally Senator Kennedy spoke "Father, of all the people you could have chosen, why did you choose us to be with you as you near the end?"
The old priest slowly replied "I have always tried to pattern my life after our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ."
"Amen" said Kennedy. "Amen" said Clinton.
The old priest continued..."He died between two lying thieves. I would like to do the same."

Good joke! Ted on any national ticket would surely doom it. He is not well regarded by the people in this country outside of the nut house called Messachusetts. The thought of that fat fatuous old sot being one heartbeat from the presidency would surely raise the laundry bill of a lot of conservatives.

Excellent joke. I will send it on to friends even though most of them are middle of the road Democrats.

Long set up. Weak punchline/payoff.
Brevity is the soul of wit, amigo.
