Senate Minority Whip Jon Kyl (R-AZ) was speaking at an NRSC retreat over the weekend when he apparently thought it was the right time to try out a joke about President Obama, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) all drowning.
According to The Hill, Kyl put his own spin on the old “three-people-in-a-boat” chestnut on Saturday:
“So Obama, Pelosi and Reid are in a row boat, and it springs a leak and starts to sink. Who gets saved?” Kyl asked.
Punchline: “The American people.”
