How many members of the Bush Administration does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

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 the new light bulb;

-6. One to arrange a photograph of Bush, dressed as a janitor, 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. One to viciously smear No. 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.
