Home - C - Clinton Jokes - Meeting with Saddam Hussein

The President is meeting with Saddam Hussein regarding the recent crisis.

They are meeting in Hussein's Baghdad capital, and halfway through the meeting Hussein hits a button on his armrest. A fake arm flies out and hits Clinton in the face. A little while later he hits another button and Clinton ducks, only to be kicked in the butt. A while later, this happens again. Clinton is angry, calls a break, and they decide to meet again later, in Washington.

When Hussein comes to DC, they sit in Clinton's office. A few minutes into the discussions, Clinton hits a button, Hussein ducks, but nothing happens. A few minutes later, Clinton hits another button, Hussein ducks again, but still nothing happens.

This happens a third time, and Hussein, by this point, is angry and paranoid. He gets up and shouts "Enough of this! I'm going back to Baghdad!" Clinton looks up and displays a funny-looking smirk to the Iraqi leader.

Then quite calmly replies, "What Baghdad?"
