Reply #74: the Chimp Party [View All]

[progdonkey]

The Republicans should be the Chimp party. Not only is their leader a dead-ringer for an ugly chimp, but their actions are remarkably chimp-like: instead of responding to stress with careful, reasoned deliberation, they bare their teeth and throw their shit on everything. Using a chimp has an extra side-benefit as well: the Republicans don't believe in Evolution, so likening them to chimps at every turn would drive them insane. (You know and I know that chimps are very intelligent--just shy of humans, shockingly;-)--but the Republicans don't believe that.) Maybe the Republicans will do what the Democrats did and embrace a negatively-intended symbol, and it will be harder for them to say chimps are too undignified to be our ancestors (hello Evolution!).

You're right; elephants are far to intelligent and noble to be representative of the Chimp Party.
