George W. Bush and his secret service agents are taking a stroll when they come upon a little girl
carrying a covered basket.

Curious, Bush asks the girl, "What's in the basket, short stuff?" She replies, "New baby kittens!"
and she opens the basket to show him

"How nice," says Bush. "What kind are they?" The little girl says, "Republicans."

Bush smiles, pats the little girl on the head and continues on.

Three weeks later Bush is taking another stroll, this time with Karl Rove.

They see the little girl again with the same basket. Bush chuckles, "Watch this, Karl. It's really
cute."

They approach the little girl. Bush greets her and inquires, "How are your kittens doing?" "They're
fine!" she says.

With a smirk, Bush nudges Rove with his elbow and asks the little girl, "And can you tell us what
kind of kittens they are?" She replies, "Sure. Democrats."

Abashed, Bush says, "But three weeks ago you said that they were Republicans!"

"I know," says the little girl, "but now their eyes are open"
