Ah, but Bobert...do you remember this page?

Bush or Chimp?

"I sure as heckfire do", to quote the obnoxious life insurance guy (Ned Ryerson) from "Groundhog Day"... ;-) Everybody here was cracking up over it...well, almost everybody except for a few very annoyed Conservatives and Chongo (who thought it was insulting to chimpanzees...).

The rank and file here thought that the "Bush or Chimp" joke was hilarious, and so did I....but today I came across this unexpectedly while looking for something else on Google:

The shoe is on the other foot now.   It is the FIRST picture that comes up on the Google list if you do a search for images of Michelle Obama!

The Left thought it was funny to portray Bush as a chimp. The Right now thinks it's funny to portray Michelle Obama as a chimp. If you were either George Bush or Michelle Obama, you probably wouldn't find it too funny to see yourself portrayed in this fashion so your political opponents can laugh at you. Would you?

We laugh when the joke is on the other side. But then the joke returns and hits someone on our side and it's not seen as funny at all anymore, is it?

What did they say in that old proverb? Those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Or if they do, they should be ready to shrug off the stones that come flying back their way.
