I was talking to this little girl, Catherine, the daughter of some
friends, and she said she wanted to be President someday. Both
of her parents, liberal Democrats were standing there with us
and I asked Catherine, 'If you were President what would be the
first thing you would do?'
Catherine replied, 'I would give houses to all the homeless people.'
'Wow, what a worthy goal you have there, Catherine.' I told her,
'but you don't have to wait until you're President. You can start
now by coming over to my house and cleaning up all the dog poop
in my back yard and I will pay you $5 dollars. Then we can go over
to the grocery store where the homeless guy hangs out, and you
can give him the $5 dollars to use for a new house.'
Catherine (who is about 4) thought that over for a second, while
her mom looked at me seething, and Catherine replied, 'Why doesn't
the homeless guy come over and clean up the dog poop and you can
just pay him the $5 dollars?'
'Ah', I said, "Welcome to the Republican Party".
