So * decides to take his hot air ballon out for a ride ...

So George W. Bush decided to take his fancy hot air balloon out for a ride. After soaring over the country side for an hour he realized he was lost.
He reduced altitude after spotting a young girl on a farm below.
He descended a bit more and shouted, "Hey little girl, can you help me? I
promised a friend an hour ago I would meet him, but I don't know where I am."
The young girl replied, "You are in a hot air balloon over my daddy's corn field making racket and scaring the chickens!"
"Your daddy must be a Democrat," said the balloonist.
"He is," said the girl, "but how did you know that?"
"Well," answered Bush, "everything you told me is technically
correct, but I still have no idea what to make of your information, and the fact is I am still lost. Little girl, you've not been much help."
The girl thought for a moment and then responded, "You must be a Republican."
"I am," replied the balloonist, "but how did you know that?"
"Well," said the girl, " You're way up there, full of hot air looking down on the world, you don't know where you're at and you don't know where you're going. You promised something to somebody you can't keep and you were in this spot before we met but some how it's all my fault.
