Q: How many Republicans does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

A: Four hundred and sixty-two:

  • twelve to investigate Clinton's involvement in the failure of the old bulb,
  • twenty-three to deregulate the light bulb industry,
  • sixteen to cut funding for alternative lighting R&D,
  • thirty-four to cut the tax rate on light bulbs,
  • fifty-three to design a block grant so the states can change the bulb,
  • forty-one to talk with defense contractors about night-vision gear instead, and
  • two hundred and eighty-three to pass a law making it illegal to discuss naked bulbs (or screwing anything) on the Internet.
