“Top 10 Elephants and Donkey jokes about Benghazi, the IRS and the AP”

10. Tradition: Since many years, when it comes the the U.S. Congress, the Elephants and Donkey in the room are quite literally the huge unforgettable ass of America.

9. Wealth: Power is a form of wealth, and you can see it exercised best when the electric company gets the United States Congress to pay its bill on time, every time.

8. Haiku: Benghazi is lame. The IRS is lamer. Someone call AP.

7. Power: Politics is all about power. That’s why the DC Electric Company (PEPCO) is so plugged in to the halls of influence.

6. Democracy: It’s a funny thing, really, except for all the misery it creates. Truly, it’s still the worst version of stupid human governance, except for all the others.

5. Intelligence: It doesn’t take too much intelligence to realize that the power games being played out between the elephants and donkey are just politics as usual, aka: games that require little to no intell.

4. Protocol: A certain decorum is required for politicians to grill fellow Washington wonks and pencil-pushing bureaucrats before the media. That and a certain amount of opportunism.

3. Populism: Of course the Elephants and Donkey issues borne out of intense media scrutiny are not populist. Whatever would make you think that?!

2. Fame: If Republicans and Democrats wanted to prove that their intentions were pure and their souls were humble, then they would not seek fame the same way moths seek the light.

… and the #1 Benghazi, IRS and AP joke is:

1. Three Words: Tempests in teacups.
