which is appropriate IMO. While the names are funny etc. at this point the monstrosity of his crimes against humanity, against the environment against all that is good in this world have made it hard to find any shred of humor. Hitler was often portrayed as a clownish character in cartoons at the time, but the images that survive are of a cold blooded murderer and mad man. In retrospect, few see Hitler as a clown.
Bush is not a clown either, he is a serious war criminal.

3. Respect for chimps and bunnies, I think.
No need to smear other species, when "Bush" is enough of an insult to smear anyone.

4. That is a fine observation.
Hitler seemed to be a laughable buffoon when he was first reported in the non-German papers...

His STAGED photo-ops, his scripted kindergarden-level rhetoric,
his followers and all their costumed, choreographed pageantry...

Everyone with a functioning MIND took one look and labeled him
a "Rabble-rousing CLOWN".

But those of us with MINDS underestimated the sheer NUMBERS
of those unthinking RABBLE.

That was a MISTAKE.

And we obviously didn't LEARN from it, because we are watching it REPEAT
in a fashion so similar that 'coincidence' is not a possibility.

6. Well said
I still call him Chimpy but my favorite is Lieboy.
I can't call him "the president" or Mr. Bush. He deserves no respect. Worse than a buffoon, he's an immature, selfish, greedy, nasty, arrogant, thief, killer and liar.

5. Well chimps can ride bikes and the President can't.
It's true I have seen them do so at circus'. So I think that they've earned a right not to be compared to the President based on hand and eye coordination alone..
