How the Bush Administration Changes a Light Bulb
How many members of the Bush administration does it take to change a light bulb?

1. One to deny that a light bulb needs to be changed;

2. One to attack the patriotism of anyone who says the light bulb needs to be changed;

3. One to blame Clinton for burning out the light bulb;

4. One to arrange the invasion of a country rumored to have a secret stockpile of light bulbs;

5. One to give a billion dollar no-bid contract to Halliburton for the new light bulb;

6. One to arrange a photograph of Bush, dressed as a janitor, standing on a step ladder under the banner: Light Bulb Change Accomplished;

7. One administration insider to resign and write a book documenting in detail how Bush was literally in the dark;

8. One to viciously smear #7;

9. One surrogate to campaign on TV and at rallies on how George Bush has had a strong light-bulb-changing policy all along;

10. And finally one to confuse Americans about the difference between screwing a light bulb and screwing the country.

3. Totally absurd.
Why send ten men to do what 50 overpaid Haliburton contractors could?

4. Well, I think some duplicity is called for.
Five overpaid contractors from Jerkwater, in addition to the other 10.

10. One to claim "all this 'light bulb' talk is old business, and no one cares anyway".

Edited on Fri Apr-11-08 11:54 AM by Javaman
how does moron* change a light bulb?

1) flips on the light

2) burns fingers removing hot lit bulb.

3) replaces good bulb with burnt out bulb.

4) proclaims, "isn't that better, now my fingers won't get burned and that's all that matters!"

or (on edit)

1) sees light out.

2) goes into other room and changes good bulb.
