Then there's this old story:

One night President Clinton couldn't sleep, so he took a walk down to the monuments on the mall.

At the Jefferson Memorial, he said "Mr. Jefferson, I wish I could hear advice from you on how what is best for the country."

He heard a voice, "The government that governs best, governs least."

At the Washington Monument, he said, "Mr. Washington, I wish I could hear advice from you on what is best for the country."

He heard a voice, "Never tell a lie."

At the Lincoln Memorial, he said, "Mr. Lincoln, I wish I could hear advice from you on what is best for the country."

He heard a voice, "Go to Ford's Theater..."

Yankee soldiers who captured Jefferson Davis were transporting him north, toward the prison where he would spend two years, not charged with a crime.

Passing some Confederate veterans traveling home, the blue belly taunted them: "Hey, Johnny Reb, we've got your president."

"Yessir," the butternut soldier replied, "and the devil's got yours."
