Ghost in the White House
In honor of the State of the Union address tonight, I thought I'd post one of my favorite Bush jokes...
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 still does not come 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 themist.
Bush 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's the best thing I can do right now to help the country?"
Lincoln replies,"Go see a play."

Who watches the State of the Union? Other than to laugh at George W. I'll pass, but if you watch be sure to fill me in on anything important ;)
if only...
Oh goodness...
No one likes a drunk!
i didn't really think that was funny. while i don't agree with the way Bush has handles some things i'm glad we have him in the office opposed to Kerry.
i think i'm getting rid of my blog.
Vix- I was in class so I missed it, but caught the highlights on the morning news shows.
kate- amen
heather- I love drunks. Some of my best friends are drunks! ;)
carl- what?! You're quitting? Is it because I posted a Bush joke? If you'll just say you'll not quit, I'll promise to not post another one. Seriously, I hope you stick around John. I'd miss checking in with you.
KC,
i loved your comment. make all the Bush jokes you want. i do it quite a bit. regardless of what i do i'll be sure to visit your blog on a regular basis.
Pretty good joke there, you. Of course, I'd laugh at any joke about any politician. I dislike most of 'em!
