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 is still not in the cards for

Bush. He awakens to see the ghost of F.D.R. 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 mists.

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 is

the best thing I can do right now, to help the

country?"

Abe replies, "Go see a play"
