A kid was sitting on his lawn with a box of puppies one morning. George Bush was on his morning run, accompanied by some Secret Service workers. Dubya asked the boy what kind of puppies were in the box.

The little boy said, 'Republicans.' The President beamed, patted the boy on the head, and said, 'Thatta boy!' A few weeks later Bush was jogging again, this time with Dick Cheney in tow. Bush stopped at the boy's house, winked at Dick and said, 'Hey kid, what kind of puppies are in the box?' The boy said, 'Democrats.' Bush looked crushed, saying, 'What happened? A few weeks ago they were Republicans!' The boy said, 'Well, the puppies opened their eyes.'
