The power of Makeup

The difference comes in the fact that Bush sadly does share many facial expressions with Apes. I mean look at the pictures closely.

Is it demonizing to illustrate some unfortunate similarities in expression? Next you will be saying that it is demonizing to point out Bush's "colorful" use of the english language.

Didn't think it would read that way.

Hmm, I see similar facial expressions in the one I posted.
I am not the one that first said it was demonizing. I believe a dem said that if you look back.

While I agree with Ming that it actually works better the way it is.. sure, I'll help out.

Example #1

[Japher]

Bush talks very well for a monkey.

IMO, comparing Bush to a monkey is funny. Everyone makes fun of the president, no matter who it is... that is just how it is. If Kerry were president I am sure there would be a lot of pictures of Kerry next to a jackass... and not his wife.

And the final, most dramatic example

I think Hillary's current position as a senator is considerably different then just being the wife of a ex-president. She's fair game as far as I'm concerned.

I would personally have said the last one is the least dramatic example, but there we are.

uhmm yeah hillary is an orangutang (or whatever that is)


not funny

Oh she's fair game, but I dont think she wields the influence that some more rabid knuckledraggers seems to think she does.

OTOH, Bush and similar ilk (Limbaugh) have a lot more influence and power (and say dumber things/lie).

Actually I would have found it funny if had been someone else, even bush. It was more how it was set up. I studied the first comparison for a minute, then the second for a minute, and when I opened the third, even though it was a bit silly, I laughed, then made my comparisons.

Gotta agree with you there.

And as I said in my previous post, it was the set up more than the target that made it funny for me.
But, needless to say, I will not be voting for her in 2008.
