If you're like me, you have encountered this dilemma countless times. OK, maybe once or twice. Which of the 2 popular nicknames are you going to use to refer to our always steamed leader? The Shrub? or The Chimp? You'll go over it in your head many times. The Shrub? or The Chimp? The Shrub? or The Chimp? The Shrub? or The Chimp?
It's a tough choice I know, so let's examine them. A shrub is a small bush that rarely bares fruit. A rather apropos description. A chimp is an almost human primate, which occasionaly demonstrates human-like behavior, and can be trained to perform for the cameras. This is also a rather apropos description. Which to choose? Then it struck me! (more on the flip)
There is really no need to choose between the nicknames. You simply merge them, and voila...presenting "The Shrimp". That's right. The Shrimp. It's small, like Bush. It's toxic to many people, like Bush. And it's presented to the public without its' brain, like Bush. It also fits in very nicely with General Wesley Clark's recent dubbing of the Swift Vote Veterans, as the Shrimp Boat Veterans. They now have their admiral. No more chimp in chief. He's now the Shrimp Boat Admiral. It's kind of like being a double naut spy or permanent latrine orderly.
What's also nice about The Shrimp is how adaptable it is. When Bush's feet are being held to the fire, he's The Shrimp on the barbie. When he's skewered by the press, he's The Shrimp kabob. When he sounds like a drunken fool, he's The Shrimp cocktail. And when we impeach his ass...he'll be Shrimp Toast.
