The old priest lay dying in the hospital. For years he had faithfully
served the people of the nation's capital. He motioned for his nurse
to come near.

"Yes, Father?" said the nurse.

"I would really like to see Bill & Hillary Clinton before I die." whispered the priest.
"I'll see what I can do, Father" replied the nurse.

The nurse sent the request to the Senate and waited for a response.
Soon the word arrived. Bill & Hillary would be delighted to visit the priest.

As they went to the hospital, Bill commented to Hillary "I don't know
why the old priest wants to see us, but it will certainly help our
images."Hillary couldn't help but agree.

When they arrived at the priest's room, the priest took Bill's hand in
his right hand and Hillary's hand in his left. There was silence and a
look of serenity on the old priest's face.

Finally Bill 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 Bill.

"Amen" said Hillary.

The old priest continued..."He died between two lying thieves. I would
like to do the same."

Classic, and so true.

Sad part is, it could be lying between two of 90% of the thieves that operate in DC.

Too true indeed.
