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 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 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."
