Friday's funnies, for those who liked Wednesday's on Roe v. Wade:

How many members of the Bush Administration are needed to change a light bulb?

The Answer is 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 #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.

    Don't forget one to dig up old lawsuits where environmentalists stopped a flawed lightbulb-changing plan from going through.

    As predicted, President Bush confirmed today that he will not seek any tax increases to pay for the post-Katrina costs of rebuilding the Gulf States. For the full story about Katrina and the Free Lunch President, see: "Bush's Katrina Cop Out"

    And a 12th member to troll left-wing blogs deriding "et al" as hateful and/or stupid.

    If I changed my name by adding "iburton," would I instantly become rich? Why is Halliburton's subsidiary known as "Blackwater.

    I heard the same light bulb/Bush Administration joke told a different way. ANSWER: None. There is nothing wrong with the bulb. Any reports of its diminished incandescence are merely delusional spin from the liberal media. That light bulb has served honorably and anything you say diminishes the lighting efect. Why do you hate freedom?

    Plus one to boldly suggest that "You have to face the dark with the light bulb you have, not the light bulb you want."

    Oh, and then turn around and buy himself a million dollar flashlight at taxpayer expense.

    We need a bulb czar. We have to give tax "incentives" to light bulb manufacturers. How many does it take? None. Because the whole f***ing world revolves around them.

    It burned out while Clinton was in office. We didn't notice sooner because.....it's hard work!

    This light bulb would not have burned out if we'd let the free market solve our lighting problems.

    you forgot bush himself, who has to give a medal of freedom to the guy who originally let the light bulb burn out in the first place.
