A "fowl" tale that explains Republican criticisms of President Biden:

Two duck hunters had long argued about who owned the best retriever and finally agreed to hunt together on opening day so they could judge each other's dog's performance.

They were in their blind at sunrise and one man dropped a mallard from the first flight. As the bird splashed into the water, the hunter proudly sent his big Chesapeake Bay retriever---let's call him "Donnie"---after it. Donnie paddled out furiously, grabbed the mallard in his jaws, thrashed it about and chewed it for several seconds and then turned and splashed back with the mauled bird.

"Pretty good, huh?" Donnie's owner asked. "How's your dog gonna beat that? By the way, where IS your dog?"

The other hunter smiled and reached into the large pocket of his hunting coat and pulled out---a Chihuahua! "This is ol' Joe. He gets it done."

The first hunter was still in slack-jawed amazement when more ducks set their wings and glided toward the blind. Joe's owner dropped two and Joe headed for them immediately. He weighed so little and ran so carefully that he never broke the surface tension of the water. He glided out like one of those water-bugs, carefully and gently latched onto both ducks, brought them back and dropped them at his owner's feet.

His proud owner turned to Donnie's owner and asked "What do you think of Joe now?"

The other guy rolled his eyes as he scratched Donnie's head and commented "Poor little guy can't swim, can he?"
