Subject: Free Kittens

A pretty little girl named Suzy was standing on the sidewalk
in front of her home. Next to her was a basket containing a
number of tiny creatures; in her hand was a sign announcing
FREE KITTENS.

Suddenly, a line of big black cars pulled up beside her. Out of
the lead car stepped a tall, grinning man. "Hi there little girl,
I'm Mitt Romney. What do you have in the basket?" he asked.

"Kittens," little Suzy said.

"How old are they?" asked Romney.

Suzy replied, "They're so young, their eyes aren't even open
yet."

"And what kind of kittens are they?"

"Republicans," answered Suzy with a smile. Romney was
delighted.

As soon as he returned to his car, he called his PR chief and
told him about the little girl and the kittens. Recognizing the
perfect photo op, the two men agreed that the candidate
should return the next day; and in front of the assembled
media, have the girl talk about her discerning kittens.

So the next day, Suzy was again standing on the sidewalk
with her basket of 'FREE KITTENS,' when another
motorcade pulled up, this time followed by vans from FOX
News, ABC, NBC, CBS and CNN. Cameras and audio
equipment were quickly set up, then Romney got out of his
limo and walked over to little Suzy.

"Hello, again," he said, "I'd love it if you would tell all my
friends out there what kind of kittens you're giving away."

"Yes sir," Suzy said. "They're Democrats."

Taken by surprise, the candidate stammered, "But... but...
yesterday, you told me they were Republicans."

Little Suzy smiled and said, "I know... but today, they have
their eyes open."
