I just finished reading the "Half-Blood Prince", and I couldn't help but notice parallels between Draco Malfoy and the chimp.
Draco= A pitiful little bully, powerless when not surrounded by friends chimp= A pitiful little bully, powerless when not surrounded by friends
Draco= Did not care who got hurt or killed when he set out to kill Dumbledore chimp= Did not care who got hurt or killed when he set out to invade Iraq
Draco= Son of a powerful, corrupt man chimp= Son of a powerful, corrupt man
Draco= From the beginning, obsessed by desire for power. chimp= From the beginning, obsessed by desire for power.
Draco= Had other people do the thinking for him chimp= Has other people do the thinking for him
Draco= Controlled by Voldemort chimp= Controlled by Cheney and the Military/Industrial Complex
Draco= A compulsive, manipulative liar chimp= A compulsive, manipulative liar
Draco= Had a hidden agenda chimp= Has a hidden agenda
Draco= A real asshole chimp= A real asshole

I like that. I suspect JKR had no intention of making such a parallel; then again, the Imperial Blivet was a perfect model for Draco in the fifth and sixth books.

An even more obvious parallel would be the Emporer in Star Wars, Episode Three. Rose to power by killing off his detractors and by manipululation people close to him. Once he attained power, he turned the Senate and the public against the Jedi, the true doers of good.
chimpy and the Emporer have much in common.
Cheers

6. what a pitiful asshole. he will go completely insane when he realizes that |
|
he is, "Controlled by Cheney and the Military/Industrial Complex" and that therefore, he has no power!
The power has never been in him. That is why he used to go around saying, "i am a leader"...remember?

He's too much of a fucking dope to realize that he was installed as a puppet. He'll never get it, ever. He should have had a clue when Cheney shot that dirtbag lawyer in the face, but the fact that cheney left him out of the loop for a weekend went unnoticed by the chimp.
He honestly thinks he is in control, and will never, ever accept that he was installed as pres because he's an easily manipulated, braindead imbicile.

the threat of an aircraft near the White House, Cheney evacuated and Laura was sent to the bunker while * blissfully rode his bike on a trail in Maryland without being informed of the threat.
