John Kerry is out jogging one morning and notices Little Hannah on the corner with a box. Curious, he runs over to Little Hannah and says, "What's in the box, little lady?" Little Hannah says, "Kittens, they're brand new kittens." John Kerry laughs and says, "What kind of kittens are they?" "Democrats," says Little Hannah. "Oh that's cute," he says, and goes on his way. A couple of days later, John Kerry is running with his buddy Teddy Kennedy, and he spies Little Hannah with her box just ahead. Sen. Kerry says to Teddy, "You gotta check this out," and they both jog over to Little Hannah. Sen. Kerry says, "Look in the box Teddy, isn't that cute? Look at  those little kittens. Hey, kid, tell my friend Teddy what kind of kittens they are." Little Hannah replies, "They're Republicans." "Whoa!" John Kerry exclaims in total surprise. "I came by here the  other day and you told me they were Democrats. What's changed?" "Well," Little Hannah explains, pointing into the box, "their eyes are open now."
