David Koch’s Sunrise Joke of the Day

There was controversy aplenty on Sunrise (Channel 7 early morning show) late last week (the 2ndof December) when David Koch, one of the hosts did his joke of the day.

Finding out exactly what was said is a little difficult but I believe it is this variant of the Bill Clinton joke. Just swap John Howard for Bill Clinton, Kevin Rudd for Al Gore and Janet Howard for Hillary.

Bill Clinton steps out onto the White House lawn in the dead of winter. Right in front of him, on the White House lawn, he sees "The President Must Die" written in urine across the snow. Well, old Bill is pretty pissed off.
He storms into his security staff's headquarters and yells, "Somebody wrote a death threat in the snow on the front damn lawn! And they wrote it in urine! Son-of-a-bitch had to be standing right on the porch when he did it! Where were you guys?"
The security guys stay silent and stare ashamedly at the floor. Bill hollers, "Well dammit, don't just sit there! Get out and FIND OUT WHO DID IT! I want an answer, and I want it TONIGHT!"
The entire staff immediately jumped up and raced for the exits. Later that evening, his chief security officer approaches him and says, "Well Mr. President, we have some bad news, and we have some really bad news. Which do you want first?"
Clinton says, "Oh Hell, give me the bad news first." The officer says, "Well, we took a sample of the urine and tested it. The results just came back, and it was Al Gore's urine."
Clinton says, "Oh my god, I feel so ... so betrayed! My own vice president! Damn. Well, what's the really bad news?"
The officer replies, "Well, it's Hillary's handwriting."

Gutsy stuff from Kochie, especially for a morning show. Apparently a lot of Channel 7 executives and an unnamed Government minister rang to complain. Kochie started issuing apologies like nobodies business.

I think there might be a little more editorial control on the joke segment in the future. (Even though I think the joke is pretty funny)
