President Bush is out for a jog with the Secret Service. He comes upon
a little boy sitting on the sidewalk next to a box.

President Bush stops and says to the boy "Hi there. What do you have
in the box?"

"Oh, they are newborn kittens."

Bush says "Well, that's nice. Do you mind if the President takes a
look?"

"No, go ahead."

The President looks in the box and asks "What type of kittens are
they?"

The little boy says "They're Republicans."

The President says "Well, that's wonderful."

A few days later, Dick Cheney is riding in his limo. The President has
told him about the little boy that he met. Dick happens to see a little
boy sitting on the sidewalk next to a box. Dick tells his driver to
pull over.

The Vice President gets out of the limo and says "Hi there little boy.
What do you have in the box?"

"They are newborn kittens."

Dick says "Well that's special. Can the Vice President see them?"

The boy replies "Sure, go ahead."

As Mr. Cheney is looking in the box, the boy says, "They are
Democrats, you see."

Cheney looks puzzled and says "Aren't you the same boy the President
saw a few days ago and you told him these kittens were Republicans?"

"Yes, but now their eyes are open."
