<p>By Emily Mitchell/Reported by Wendy Cole

<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.
