A longtime politician (Congressman) died and went to the Pearly Gates, meeting St Peter there. St. Peter tells the politician because of his special status he gets to spend an hour in HELL and an hour in HEAVEN and then go to where ever he wants.
In Hell the Congressman meets the Devil and finds it to be the most wonderful of places. He meets Reagan, Nixon, and sees a seat with "W’s" name on it. A real nice place for a politician.
In Heaven there’s just beautiful soft and white clouds.
Being a politician he says "Well, I’ll take Hell and be with my friends," and off he goes where he again meets the Devil in a Hell that is now lonely, dreary and hot; a terrible place to spend eternity.
The politician screams at the Devil "What happened? This isn’t right, it’s not supposed to be this way!"
"Sorry," says the Devil, "I was campaigning the first time you were here."
