PRESS CONFERENCE IN CAIRO, EGYPT
CNN Reporter: Mr. Lieberman, when will you begin?
Joe Lieberman: The appointment is effective today... it's immediate in light of the chaos that currently plagues Egypt. I will be the second in command. And no Jewish man has ever held such a position of power in Egypt.
Fox Reporter: Uh, that's not actually true sir, have you read the Jewish Bible?
Joe Lieberman: Right, good point. Well, I am the first man named Joseph to...
Fox Reporter: No, that's not quite right either Mr. Lieberman.
Joe Lieberman: Well, anyway, there's a lot of work to be done. I'd like to thank the Pharoah, er, I mean the President for his faith in me. You know when he called me on the phone to ask me to come down here, he said he never dreamed that the political situation could get so bad. But I told him that he had in fact dreamed that it would get this bad. I keep telling him that.
AP Reporter: What will be your first order of business to calm the masses who are rioting in the street?
Joe Lieberman: I came up with this great idea to stockpile food because you just never know. I've been in pits before and I think that in time we can get these people to start building. Thank you very much for your time today and God Bless Egypt!
Al Jazeera Reporter: Have a good Shabbos Vizier Lieberman!

That was fun! Mazel Tov on your first journey down (without brothers, even) into new territory. It even had a tad of an in-joke quality. I think it would work great in a Yeshiva-Hebrew school setting, as a reading for either current events or parshah study. I was only sorry it was over so soon. Thanks for the lightly learned laugh at a tense time.
i was just telling a friend in shul that we should trade Obama for Mubarak- the Egyptians could use someone young, vigorous and honest and we could use an old political hand who knows how to cut through gridlock!
