http://www.thestate.com/mld/thestate/news/special_packages/election2004/9879678.htmST. LOUIS - (KRT) - A joke is being circulated these days about the Bush White House:
How many members of the administration does it take to change a lightbulb?
None, because "there's nothing wrong with that lightbulb. It has served us honorably. When you say it's burned out, you're giving encouragement to the forces of darkness. Once we install a lightbulb, we never ever change it. Real men don't need artificial light."The joke is ricocheting around the political world - among conservatives as well as liberals - and it reflects a broad recognition that the Bush campaign has settled on a risky reelection strategy. Bush is betting his presidency on the proposition that voters will applaud his refusal to admit error, his refusal to cede an inch to the critics who say he has mismanaged a war that he never should have started.
