Here’s evidence that chimpanzees are smarter than the Republican base:
Over the last few decades, researchers have been able to teach primates to communicate with American Sign Language, lexigrams, and computers. Although their vocabulary is rudimentary, it is more than adequate not only for asking for basic needs to be met, but for expressing feelings and opinions.
Their distress was first discovered when a researcher was working on basic math with signing chimp Washoe, and she overheard another scientist refer to Bush as a “chimp faced moron.” She stopped her lesson to sign over and over “bush dirty bad stupid not chimp,” and persisted until the offending person told her that he agreed Bush was not a chimp, and that chimps are not dirty bad and stupid like Bush.
In another case, Lana, a chimp taught to use lexigrams on a computer, asked her trainer to show her pictures of other chimps on the internet. When websites like Smirking Chimp or Bush or Chimp came up instead, Lana gave a distress howl and defecated on her computer viewing stool, which is highly unusual for the otherwise potty trained chimp.
One primate expert said the comparison is offensive to the Chimp-American community, and really should be avoided. The chimpanzees do not mind, however, if Bush is compared with lower primates like lemurs or baboons, said the expert.

Thank you for cross-posting my story.
Could you do me a favor and put a link at the end to the full text since people might miss the “evidence” link at the top?
I like my photo better too, but then again, Bush or Chimp can never get enough exposure.
Thanks, Professor. I run this Bush-chimp art every chance I get.
