Who's On First for the Next Generation

Being a big Abbott and Costello fan I loved this parody and couldn't resist sharing it with you. Enjoy....

Barak: Hillary! Nice to see you. What's happening?
Hillary: Sir, I have the report here about the new leader of China.
Barak: Great. Lay it on me.
Hillary: Hu is the new leader of China.
Barak: That's what I want to know.
Hillary: That's what I'm telling you.
Barak: That's what I'm asking you. Who is the new leader of China?
Hillary: Yes.
Barak: I mean the fellow's name.
Hillary: Hu.
Barak: The guy in China.
Hillary: Hu.
Barak: The new leader of China.
Hillary: Hu.
Barak: The Chinaman!
Hillary: Hu is leading China.
Barak: Now whaddya' asking me for?
Hillary: I'm telling you Hu is leading China.
Barak: Well, I'm asking you. Who is leading China?
Hillary: That's the man's name.
Barak: That's who's name?
Hillary: Yes.
Barak: Will you or will you not tell me the name of the new leader of China? Hillary: Yes, sir.
Barak: Yassir? Yassir Arafat is in China? I thought he was in the Middle East. Hillary: That's correct.
Barak: Then who is in China?
Hillary: Yes, sir.
Barak: Yassir is in China?
Hillary: No, sir.
Barak: Then who is?
Hillary: Yes, sir.
Barak: Yassir?
Hillary: No, sir.
Barak: Look, Hillary. I need to know the name of the new leader of China. Get me the Secretary General of the U.N. on the phone.
Hillary: Kofi?
Barak: No, thanks.
Hillary: You want Kofi?
Barak: No.
Hillary: You don't want Kofi.
Barak: No. But now that you mention it, I could use a glass of milk. And then get me the U.N.
Hillary: Yes, sir.
Barak: Not Yassir! The guy at the U.N.
Hillary: Kofi?
Barak: Milk! Will you please make the call?
Hillary: And call who?
Barak: Who is the guy at the U.N?
Hillary: Hu is the guy in China.
Barak: Will you stay out of China?!
Hillary: Yes, sir.
Barak: And stay out of the Middle East! Just get me the guy at the U.N.
Hillary: Kofi.
Barak: All right! With cream and two sugars. Now get on the phone.
