A member of the Bush household even the most hardened liberals should have some sympathy for:
The Bushes' 18-year-old female black American Shorthair died Sunday at home in the Executive Mansion.
Named by a then-9-year-old Barbara Bush, the cat, who was also called "Kitty" by the family, was given the name "India" after the former Texas Ranger baseball player, Ruben Sierra, who was called El Indio.
Bet she's the only one who doesn't end up with a book deal.
