The Sultan

[wd0ct]

Once upon a time, a sultan was blessed with the birth of a son, after years of hoping. The boy immediately became the apple of his father's eye. Just before his son's sixth birthday, the sultan said to his son, "Son, I love you very much. Your birthday is coming soon. What would you like?" His son replied, "Daddy, I would like to have my own airplane."

His father bought him American Airlines.

The next year, just before his son's seventh birthday, the sultan said to him, "Son, you are my pride and joy. Ask what you want for your birthday. Whatever it is, it's yours."

His son replied, "Daddy, I would like a boat."

His father bought him the Princess Cruise Line.

The next year, just before his son's eighth birthday, the sultan said, "Son, you bring so much happiness into my life. Anything you want for your birthday, I shall get for you."

His son replied, "Daddy, I would like to be able to watch cartoons."

His father bought him Disney Studios.

Just before his son's ninth birthday, the sultan said, "Son, you are my life. Your birthday is coming soon. Ask what you wish I will get it for you."

His son, who had grown to love Disney, replied, "Daddy, I would like a Mickey Mouse outfit and a Goofy outfit."

The sultan bought him the Republican Party and the FOX news.

While Jack Abramoff paid the big bucks to buy the Republican party, I don't think you get a big tax write-off for something that is not even worth $.02. #http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif
