How many republicans does it take to change a light bulb?
1. One to deny that the 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 darkness.

5. One to give a billion dollar no-bid/cost-plus contract to Halliburton for the new light bulb.

6. One to arrange a photograph of Bush, dressed as a janitor, standing on a stepladder under the
banner: "Light Bulb Change Accomplished."

7. One administration insider to resign and write a book documenting in detail how Bush was literally in the dark.

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. Finally, Joe Lieberman to confuse Americans about the difference between screwing the light bulb and screwing the country.

:silly: :crazy:

10. How Many Republicans: My Version
How many Republicans does it take to change a lightbulb?

One to offer a worker $.001 an hour to change the lightbulb.
One to design an ad and interview people after the first worker tells him to go fuck himself.
One to drive to pick up an undocumented day laborer to change the light bulb for $.001 an hour.
One to drive back to see if any day laborer who'll change the light bulb for a $.001 an hour.
One to hire a PR firm to fight the new Lightbulb Changers union.
One to buy out a newspaper to write phony anti-LC union LTTEs.
One to start the astroturf non-profit "Citizens Against Anti-Entrepreneurial Lightbulb Unions"
One to buy a congressmen to pass a law that tax payers should pay for changed lightbulbs.
One to lobby for the new bill "Let There Be Taxpayer Funded Light"
One to set up a CIA black op fake company to charge $999,900,123 a second to change the lightbulb.
One to create strange invisible Evil Iron Man like creatures to stand over everyone in the Senate with a (D) after their name, threatening them with all live c-span spontaneous combustion.

SHIT. I FIGURED IT OUT!
