Jokes from the USA tv talk shows
Some of these jokes might show up too dificult to understand for people with little knowledge of English and little knowledge of USA politics. On the other hand they are excellent in showing how beautiful English can be, and what high irony it can express, sometimes using words with double meaning, these are difficult to translate as the Czech language does not have the same double-meaning words. Such jokes can only be explained but not translated. Anyway, they are excellent and show how low Americans estimate the quality of their president Bush., Who really is an extremely weak personality, a sort of good for nothing man.
