WHAT THEY WERE THINKING

George W. Bush, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Winston S. Churchill, Lincoln Bedroom séance, White House, Washington, D.C., Sept. 18, 2004.

George W. Bush (left): “I remember thinking how silly this all was, and that if it weren't for the fact Laura went to college with someone who believes in this stuff and convinced her to give it a try, I'd have been out jogging, or sleeping.”

Franklin D. Roosevelt (center): “I remember telling my dear friend Winnie how this dimwitted fellow would have sent all our troops into Mexico after Pearl Harbor, and he gave out with a good guffaw. For a ghost.”

Winston S. Churchill (right): “In the history of the English-speaking peoples I have never come across a more incompetent buffoon than this Bush chap. But it was good to see Franklin again, and the Lincoln bedroom.”
