FOUR GHOSTS OF THE WHITE HOUSE
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, “Hey Georgie, 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,
“Yo Tom, please, what is the best thing I can do to help the country?”
“Respect the Constitution, as I did,” Jefferson advises, and then 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,
“Hey, Franky Baby, what is the best thing I can do for the country?”
“Help the less fortunate, just as I did,” FDR replies, and then fades
into the mist.
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,
“Hey, my man Abe, what’s the best thing I can do right now to
help the country?”
Lincoln replies….. “Go see a play.”
