Monkey abuse


Listen up Bush haters: the President is not a monkey:
"Humans share over 99 percent of our DNA with chimpanzees, our closest genetic relative. However, that fraction of a percent accounts for clear differences in mental capacities, physical dexterity, and body hair.

"Bush shares with lower primates the ability to make his desires clear despite an inability to communicate in English. He also understands and reacts to negative stimuli, and makes use of simple tools. However, Bush's dental records -- which were used as evidence of the President's service in the National Guard -- clearly demonstrate that he is human."





Coup. Not a coup.

Predictably, the Bush campaign has blasted Sen. John Edwards as not Presidential material. When asked recently by a reporter to compare Kerry's running mate to Vice President Dick Cheney, Bush said, in what could be taken as a threat, "Dick Cheney can be President."

So it's worth noting that only four years ago, then candidate Texas governor Bush, was asked by a reporter to name the leaders of four "hot spot' countries: Chechnya, Taiwan, Pakistan and India. He only named one, kind of, saying "Lee" was the President of Taiwan, instead of using the gentleman's entire name of Lee Teng-hui. But that's OK. Lot's of world leaders call the American President "George".

Then there was this exchange in the same interview:

Reporter: "Can you name the general who is in charge of Pakistan?" Hiller asked, inquiring about Gen. Pervaiz Musharraf, who seized control of the country October 12.

Smirking Chimp: "Wait, wait, is this 50 questions?"

Reporter: "No, it's four questions of four leaders in four hot spots." . . .

SC: "The new Pakistani general, he's just been elected -- not elected, this guy took over office. It appears this guy is going to bring stability to the country and I think that's good news for the subcontinent."

Not only did candidate Bush not know who General Pervez Musharraf was, but apparently also confused a military coup with being elected.

But don't worry. Dick Cheney can be President.
