- <p> Remember Jimmy Carter's killer rabbit? Well, the Bush
- Administration won't be outdone when it comes to dealing with
- uppity critters. When Barbara Bush was taking a dip in the
- White House pool last year, she suddenly discovered she had a
- fellow swimmer: a certified White House rat. At first it was
- said that a Secret Service man had dispatched the intruder, but
- last week Barbara corrected the story. The rat "went by right
- in front of me," she told reporters. "Fortunately, George Bush
- was there and drowned the beast." Thus was born the legend of
- St. George and the Aquatic Rodent.
