The old priest lay dying in the hospital. For years, he had faithfully served the people of the nation's capital in Washington D.C. He motioned for his nurse to come near.
"Yes, Father?" said the nurse.
"I would really like to see President Bush and Vice President Cheney before I die," whispered the priest.
"I'll see what I can do, Father." replied the nurse.
The nurse sent the request to the White House and waited for a response. Soon the word arrived; they would be delighted to visit the priest. As they went to the hospital, George commented to Dick, "I don't know why the old priest wants to see us, but it certainly will help our images and might even get us above the 29% approval rating. After all, there is my legacy to think about." Dick agreed--it was a very good thing for both of them once they put out a press release about it.
When they arrived at the priest's room, the old priest took George's hand in his right hand and Dick's hand in his left. There was silence and a look of serenity on the old priest's face. Finally George 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 George.
"Amen," said Dick.
The old priest continued, "He died between two liars. I would like to do the same."
