Q: How many Andrew Sullivans does it take to change a lightbulb?[03:37 PM]A: Bush again gets it exactly right. While the leftists continue to marginalize themselves by mewling and snorting at the lack of light, the rest of America will be enjoying the darkness that Bush has shrewdly provided. Once again, his instincts and deep bond with the American people carry the day.
KRUGMAN AWARD NOMINEE: “I think I liked it better when the lightbulb worked.” Jimmy Thompson, 4th grade, quoted in (where else?) the New York Times.
Brilliant! I laughed even though I am broadly on Sullivan's side on most issues.
Someone posed the question over on RASFF:
Q. How many members of the Bush administration does it take to change a lightbulb?
And I replied,
