George W. Bush is visiting an elementary school.
He asks the children to give him an example of a tragedy. A little girl raises her hand and says that if her best friend was
walking down the street and was hit by a car and killed that would be a tragedy. Dubya says "No, that would be an accident."
A little boy raises his hand and says that if his entire class was on a bus for a field trip and the bus was hit by a train
and everyone was killed, that would be a tragedy. Dubya says "No, that would be a great loss." Way in the back of the class
Little Johnny raises his hand and Dubya calls on him. "Can you tell me what an example of a tragedy would be, Johnny?" Johnny
says, "If you and Mrs. Bush were on Air Force One and were fired on by a missile and blown up, that would be a tragedy." Dubya
says, "Very good. Now can you tell me why that would be a tragedy?" Johnny says, "Well, it wouldn't be an accident, and it
sure as hell wouldn't be a great loss!"
