The Four Ghosts bush sought advice from...
THE FOUR GHOSTS

One night, George W. Bush is tossing restlessly in his White House bed. He
awakens to see George Washington standing by him. Bush asks him, "George,
what's the best thing I can do to help the country?" "Set an honest and
honorable example, just as I did," Washington advises, and then fades away.

The next night, Bush is astir again, and sees the ghost of Thomas Jefferson
moving through the darkened bedroom. Bush calls out, "Tom, please! What is
the best thing I can do to help the country?" "Respect the Constitution, as
I did," Jefferson advises, and dims from sight.

The third night sleep is still not in the cards for Bush. He awakens to see
the ghost of FDR hovering over his bed. Bush whispers, "Franklin, What is
the best thing I can do to help the country?" "Help the less fortunate, just
as I did," FDR replies and fades into the mist.

B! us isn't sleeping well the fourth night when he sees another figure moving
in the shadows. It is the ghost of Abraham Lincoln. Bush pleads, "Abe, what
is the best thing I can do

4. Is the end of this cut off?
What's the deal here?

Is there something missing? Maybe I just don't get it.
