Okay, here's the entry I sent in:
"During an informal session with photographers, President Bush asks Bono what it was like sleeping with Cher."
Funny, right? Okay, marginally funny. But I didn't even get a mention. Check out the ones that did:
As Bono tells George W. Bush about the growing pandemic of AIDS in Africa, the president recalls that he "partied with some Africans once." -- William Wood
"Karl, I think the hair piece and the glasses work. Just don't speak to Judy Miller again." -- Mark Gorman
"I have you on my iPod. I like to listen to you while I am presidenting." --anonymous
President Bush invites Bono to sit behind the desk in the Oval Office, promises to be "right back." -- Bob Glickstein
"Hey, rock star, got any blow? I'm kidding! Totally kidding! Seriously, do you?" --Jeremy Resnick
President Bush asks Bono who "Joshua Tree" is and whether he may be responsible for hiding both Osama Bin Laden and the WMDs. --Donald Illich
"You must be thinking of a different Jesus." -- Jim Dowd
Bush: "Because, like our friend here, Mr. Bono, says, we want to help people all over the world take shelter from the pouring rain." Bono: "Um, poison rain." "Eh?" "Poison rain. The lyric is, 'Take shelter from the poison rain.'" "Not pouring?'" "No." "Poison rain? You sure?" "Yes, Mr. President." "Poison's a lot worse than pouring." "Yes, sir." "So I've been singin' it wrong all these years?" "Looks like." -- Locke Peterseim
"So you see Bonehead, this is where Bill and Monica, you know, did it." -- Richard Stovall
"Yeah, like you never hung around playing guitar while your country needed you for a federal emergency." -- Richard Klugman
Bono: "No, seriously, I don't have any, haven't done it since the '80s." Bush: "But you'd know where to get some, right?" -- Stan Denski
"You know, Harriet said she'll work Pro-Bono if you publicly announce you're Pro-Miers." --Paul Myers
"If you'll sing 'Ooh, I love to dance the little sidestep,' I'll do my best Charles Durning impression." -- Jack Crowder
"So you just quick fry the tuna and then dump the whole pan, apricots and all, into the salad bowl with the kimchi?" -- Josh Hilgart
Shortly after this photograph was taken, President Bush remarked to an aide that he was "surprised that the president of Ireland didn't wear a tie." -- Dallas Hayes
"You're shittin' me -- $35 for an eighth?" -- Joe Francia
The first one is pretty funny. The others kinda suck, though, don't they?
Am I wrong? Can I get some love on this?

Very interesting blog. You may want to check out my best sectors web page best sectors I'll check back frequently.
the Pro-Bono one was clever.
Yours is way, way funnier. Over the heads, I guess, of the junior staffers running the contest. They probably looked at each other, asked, "Who's Cher?," shrugged, and moved on to the next entry.
