How Many Members of the Bush Administration Does It Take to Change a Bulb?
How Many Members of the Bush Administration Does It Take to Change a Light
Bulb?



Answer: TEN.

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 tell the nations of the world that they are either for changing
the light bulb or for eternal darkness;

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

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

7. One administration insider to resign and in detail reveal how Bush was
literally 'in the dark' the whole time;

8. Another 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 in a light bulb and screwing the country.

And after all is said and done, no one will notice that they never actually
managed to change the light bulb.


-Cheers.

1. Nice.
:thumbsup:

Reminds me of a joke one of my British counselors told us when I was in Cambridge in 2003 (a few months after the Iraq War started):

"How many Americans does it take to change a light bulb?

The whole country to scream, 'No, no, no!'
and then President Bush to go ahead and do it anyway."

Funny/sad, I guess. (I like yours better.) :hi:

4. Actually, it might be twelve
11. One to leak parts of an NIE to the press that states that terrorists are intent on spreading energy efficient light bulbs throughout the white house, and they must be stopped at all costs.

12. One to pray intently over the old light bulb to extend its life indefinitely. Thousands outside the white house hold a vigil for the old light bulb chanting "We think we saw it flicker."

5. 13.

13. One to launch a war to get the resources needed to light the bulb, once it's replaced. (Unless the liberal darkness-lovers commit treason to stop such patriotic actions.)
