Did you hear the joke about the three power mad, reprobate socialists who were in a room together?
I haven't heard it either, (and I'm too tired to invent one right now) but there has to be a good one in there somewhere.
It probably starts like "An old man in a long headscarf, a short man in a cheap military uniform covered in medals, and a horny communist sit down to dinner....".
... and then Helen Thomas walks in...
