She replies; &quot;New baby kittens&quot; and opens the basket to show him.&quot; How nice&quot; said Bush. &quot; What kind are they?&quot;. The little girl says, &quot;Republicans&quot;. Bush smiles, pats the little girl on the head and continues on. Three weeks later again taking a stroll, he sees the little girl again with the same basket. Bush says; &quot;Watch this, it&#39;s very cute&quot;. They approach the little girl. Bush asks how the kittens are and she says fine. He then says, &quot;What kind of kittens are they?&quot; She replies, &quot;Democrats.&quot; Somewhat abashed, Bush says, &quot;Three weeks ago you said they were Republicans!&quot; &quot;I know,&quot; she says.&quot; But now their eyes are open&quot;.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tSometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it.<br \/>\n\t<strong>&nbsp;&#8211; Mark Twain<br \/>\n\tauthor and humorist <br \/>\n\t(1835-1910)<br \/>\n\t<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>\tOur enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we.
