An aircraft is about to crash. There are five passengers on board, but
unfortunately only 4 parachutes.
The first passenger says "I'm Shaquille O'Neill, the best NBA
basketball player. The Lakers need me, it would be unfair to them if I
died". So he takes the first parachute and jumps.
The second passenger, Hillary Clinton, says, "I am the wife of the
former President of the United States. I am also the most dedicated
woman in the world, a Senator in New York and America's potential
future President. She takes one of the parachutes and jumps.
The third passenger, George W. Bush, says, " I am the President of the
United States of America. I have a huge responsibility in world
politics. And apart from that, I am the most intelligent President in
the history of the country and I have a responsibility to my people
not to die". So he takes a parachute and jumps.
The fourth passenger, the Pope, says to the fifth passenger, a ten
year old schoolboy "I am already old. I have already lived my life, as a good
person and a priest I will give you the last parachute".
The boy replies "No problem, there is also a parachute for you.
America's most intelligent President has taken my schoolbag..."

This may be called as anti-Bush joke.

I thought it was funny but I did see the punchline coming a mile away.
By the way, this joke has been around for a long time in various guises:

In answer to your question, Mohandas:
Nope, its called freedom of speech and freedom of the press.
As jokes go, it may not get you any laughs, though, unless you tell it to kids in elementary school.

I'd be interested to hear an anti-American joke, if anybody knows one.

I guy goes into a brain surgeon ans says "I'd like to be an American, can you remove 25% of my brain please?"
The surgeon thinks it a strange request but agrees to go ahead with the surgery.
As the man is coming out of sedation, he sees the surgeon and a nurse standing over him with worried expressions.
"There's been a terrible mistake" says the surgeon. "Instead of removing 25% of your brain, we only left 25% of your brain."
The man looks up at the doctor and says "She'll be right mate."

Oh it was meant to be anti-american?
Can I claim a glancing blow?
