Personally, I think it's INCREDIBLY demeaning to call Bush "CHIMP"

[liberalpragmatist]

Chimps are some of the most intelligent creatures in the animal kingdom, probably second to humans (although of course, it's more complicated than that).

* I'm perfectly aware that this could well be an EXTREMELY old and tired joke. Oh well. I thought of it just now and I feel like basking. :P

1. Okay, how about "Chumpy."

Too bad chumps aren't going extinct!

2. I stopped calling him "dumber than a brick..."

...because I thought the remark insulting to bricks, which have no control over the circumstance that they're inanimate objects without a brain.

5. like a rock, only dumber...

every time I see Dennis miller's chimp Mowgli, I think of bush. Wonder if miller is freudian slipping.

3. This is funny because

there is a website that has photos of Bush on the one side, and it has a photo of a chimp on the other. In similar poses.

Without exception, the chimps are cuter. They look more intelligent and thoughtful. With Bush, however, we see a thin veneer of civilization. The rest is arrogance, ignorance and hubris which the chimps have no sign of.

4. How about fecal boy??

Would this be slanderous to fecal matter??

6. bush takes the fecal position when challenged.

7. I always thought the "chimp" reference was about his looks, not his smarts

because of course chimpanzees are much brighter and better tempered than Smirk. But they do suffer from that no-lip thing.
