Washington, DC - Following a report of the Iraq situation by Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld on Monday, President George W. Bush burst out laughing after hearing his last name mentioned in a humorous manner.

Rumsfeld, who provides Bush with a daily analysis, drew hysterics from the President after stating "half of the Iraqi men actually love Bush."

"I never understood why growing up, my friends would always laugh whenever I said my name." said the teary eyed President. "I can't believe it took me almost 60 years to realize the relevance of my last name. Good thing mom and dad didn't name me Harry."

President Bush Shares a Laugh following Rumsfeld's Remark

Bush spent the remainder of the meeting cracking jokes with the defense team over silly phrases such as "Bush got very wet, following that downpour" and "No one can take a lick quite like Bush."

A frustrated Rumsfeld was less than pleased with the President's demeanor. "This is not a light situation," exclaimed Rumsfeld. "Our soldiers are dying in Iraq and the World is against our overall involvement. It is crucial that we give our input to Bush."

The room busted into laughter following the Secretary of Defense's remark. "Hey, I guess that is kind of funny," Chuckled Rumsfeld.

Though the outburst was unexpected, it was not the first for President Bush. In 2000 during his first the State of the Union Address, Bush was visibly holding back tears after stating that "he will work 'long and hard' towards the making a better American.

"It's not uncommon for individuals to pick up sexual humor at a later age," said Dr. Michael Muse, Author of Humor, Life and Sexuality. "Bush grew up in a sheltered environment and just as several politicians in the past a lack of sexual humor has become part of their society."

Bush defended his reaction. "With all of the pressures of running the country, it never hurts to sit back and laugh from time to time. However, I do promise to keep sexual humor to a minimum for the greater good of my family, my country and my people," said Bush. "I will work hard to keep this promise.."

Laughed the President "I said 'Hard'."
