Goerge W. Bush is a post turtle

[Poiuyt]

While suturing a laceration on the hand of a 70-year-old Texas rancher who had got his hand caught in a gate while working cattle, a doctor and the old man were talking about George W. Bush being in the White House.

The old Texan said, "Well, ya know, Bush is a 'post turtle'."

Not knowing what the old man meant, the doctor asked him what a post turtle was.

The old man said, "When you're driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's a post turtle."

The old man saw a puzzled look on the doctor's face, so he continued to explain, "You know he didn't get there by himself, he doesn't belong there, he doesn't know what to do while he's up there, and you just want to help the poor stupid bastard get down."

2. haha, so true

but nobody gets to be president on their own these days. There are powerful people backing Kerry, and of course all of us are too. Bush's backer just happen to be very evil and greedy.

I imagine the joke has racist origins.
