And now, the comedy stylings of National Security Adviser Gen. James Jones (Ret.)

Our national security adviser is one funny dude. Yid with Lid has the details (H/T: Instapundit):

A Taliban militant gets lost and is wandering around the desert looking for water. He finally arrives at a store run by a Jew and asks for water. The Jewish vendor tells him he doesn’t have any water but can gladly sell him a tie. The Taliban, the jokes goes on, begins to curse and yell at the Jewish storeowner. The Jew, unmoved, offers the rude militant an idea: Beyond the hill, there is a restaurant; they can sell you water. The Taliban keeps cursing and finally leaves toward the hill. An hour later he’s back at the tie store. He walks in and tells the merchant: “Your brother tells me I need a tie to get into the restaurant.”

What a laff riot, huh? Breitbart has the video. Remember, this guy is one of the key players in formulating Israel policy for the administration. The beauty part? The White House released the transcript of the speech Jones was giving, but conveniently left the joke out.



Yeah -- that Obama administration is pretty funny, all right.
