Top 11 White House April Fool's Day pranks.

11. "Wake up, George! You have that unscripted press conference in an hour."

10. Halliburton has been barred from bidding on any contracts to rebuild Iraq (only funny if you have a defibrillator handy).

9. "Hey, look! It's a pro-war rally and Clear Channel had nothing to do with it!"

8. Fox News' Geraldo Rivera giving away the position of the unit in which he was embedded (time difference).

7. "Nobel Peace Prize committee on line one, Mr. President."

6. "Seriously, 35 ago to the day that Lyndon Johnson announced that he would not seek re-election."

5. "It's really not about oil, Laura."

4. "The President just discovered a bag full of computer keyboard pieces in Karl Rove's desk. He thought they were the "W" keys that departing Clinton staffers supposedly removed, but half of them are the letter "M".

3. "Turn on the TV! Some guy from Fox News is really grilling Ari."

2. "Someone just came forward who remembers Dubya showing up during the last 17 months of his National Guard service."

And the number one April Fool's Day prank in the White House:

1. Weapons of mass destruction found in Iraq!

Not necessarily. Regardless of one’s politics, you got to admit that some of these are down right funny.

Whatever you say, big guy.

By the way, where's your twin been? Arelius (I) was funnier. 😉
