George W. Bush and a secret service agent are taking a stroll when they come
upon a little girl carrying a basket with a blanket over it.

Curious George asks the girl, "What's in the basket?"

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 says, "Watch this, Karl; it's really cute." They approach the little
girl. He greets the little girl and says "How are the kittens doing?" and
she says, "Fine."

Then, smirking, he nudges Rove with his elbow and asks the little girl,
"And can you tell us what kind of kittens they are?"

She replies, "Democrats."

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

"I know," she says. "But now their eyes are open."
