Meet George W. Bushy-Tail and Hairy Kerry-the latest additions to creator Jay Kamhi's Spice Mice collection.

The Kerry mouse comes complete with a large shock of gray hair and a VOTE KERRY button. It says "Where are the weapons of mouse destruction?"(among other pre-programmed partisan lines). The Bush mouse, wearing cowboy hat and s--t-eating grin, insists "I am the right mouse for the White House!"

The president is not the only Republican rodent in the collection. Kamhi also released an Arnold Schwarzenegger version-The Mousinator-despite fears that he might suffer the same fate as the company that had marketed a bobble-head doll of the California governor. "Everyone warned me that Arnold would sue me for making this doll," says Kamhi.

In fact, he did receive an envelope from Schwarzenegger after he sent him one of the mice-but it contained a complimentary note, not a lawsuit notice.
