 Congressman's Syria Joke Bombs...Sort OfMar 5 2005 by Greg Kuhl
"I'm a funny kind of guy," said Rep. Sam Johnson. "I like to kid around all the time, especially with the president. I'm a Texan, he's a Texan. I figured he needed some cheering up. I was just joking." "He was?" Bush asked. "It didn't sound as though he was joking to me. Actually, I thought it was kind of a good idea. Are you sure he was joking?" Johnson admitted at a church pancake breakfast that he told Bush and another lawmaker: "You know, I can fly an F-15. Put two nukes on 'em and I'll make one pass. We won't have to worry about Syria anymore." Johnson, who was a pilot in Vietnam and spent seven years as a POW, said he jokes around like that all the time. "Nobody believed me when I said I wanted to take down the Berlin Wall by myself with a couple well-placed bombs," Johnson said. "I talked all the time about overrunning the Chinese government and making myself the leader. Again, just a joke. "When I said I wanted to turn Israel into a parking lot, that was funny. The same with my desire to overthrow the British government, or make myself president of France. "Nobody knew it, but comedy has been my entire life. I used to write jokes for Johnny Carson. OK, he never used any of them and got that restraining order, but the point's the same. I thought I was in line ahead of Jay Leno and David Letterman for Carson's job when he retired. But it wasn't to be. "Despite the disappointment, it didn't stop me from my love of comedy. I spend my days dealing with the mundane business of Congress. Can't a guy dream a little and have some fun? "What's the harm in bombing Syria anyway?" Johnson asked. "I've always fantasized about America's world domination and, hey, you've got to start somewhere." Related Articles Cheney's Daughter Gets Plum Job Feb 25 2005
