Way back in June, I received a report that seven Bush administration officials were necessary to change a lightbulb. Today I received a report indicating that number has now risen to ten. And when I compared the two lists, after eliminating overlap, it actually appears to be eleven.
- One to deny that a light bulb needs to be replaced.
- One to attack and question the patriotism of anyone who has questions about the light bulb.
- One to blame the previous administration for the need of a new light bulb.
- One to arrange the invasion of a country rumored to have a secret stockpile of light bulbs.
- One to tell the nations of the world that they are either for changing the light bulb or for darkness,
- One to get together with Vice President Cheney and figure out how to pay Halliburton one billion dollars for a light bulb.
- One to arrange a photograph of Bush, dressed as a janitor, standing on a step ladder under the banner “Light bulb Change Accomplished”.
- One administration insider to resign and write a book documenting in detail how Bush was literally “in the dark”
- One to viciously smear #8
- One surrogate to campaign on TV and at rallies on how George Bush has had a strong light-bulb-changing policy all along
- And finally, one to explain to Bush the difference between screwing a light bulb and screwing the country.
