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 Harry Reid and
Nancy Pelosi before I die", whispered the
priest.
"I'll see what I can do, Father" replied
the nurse.
The nurse sent the request to them
and waited for a response. Soon the word arrived. Harry
and Nancy would be delighted to visit the priest.
As they went to the hospital, Harry commented
to Nancy "I don't now why the old priest wants to
see us, but it will certainly help our images."
Nancy couldn't help but agree.
When they
arrived at the priest's room, the priest took Nancy 's hand in
his right hand and Harry's hand in his left. There was silence
and a look ofserenity on the old
priest's face.
Finally Nancy 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."
The old priest continued...."He
died between two lying thieves. I would like to do the
same."
See, even we liberals can laugh at ourselves.
