|
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 easily 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 the
mist...
Bush isn't sleeping well the fourth night either when he sees another
figure moving in the shadows. It is the ghost of Abraham Lincoln. Bush
pleads, "Abe, what is the best thing I can do right now to help the
country?"
Lincoln replies, "Go see a play."
