1. Chimpanzees are wonderful creatures

I don't know where the evil comes from but it's not from a primate

2. This post is a hurtful and unwarranted criticism of chimpanzees everywhere.

Chimpanzees are not venal, lying warmongers with no redeeming qualities.

3. Actual humans have about 96% the same DNA as chimps.

Chimps are really pretty smart animals, so I'm guessing Bush's DNA is more similar to that of a sponge or a slime mold.

4. Not sure he's even in the primate family, frankly.......

But would like a check of his DNA anyway.

7. I think you mean denigrate...........

If the apes in the Bush family tree were only a generation or so removed, that would be a degredation of the blood lines.

(Sorry. Couldn't resist. I have a vile sense of humour.)

6. I do believe he may have 47 chromosomes

not the 48 that the chimps have nor the 46 that humans have. He is not representative of either species, IMO.

8. not 100%...

I found through ancestry.com that GWB is my 7th cousin. He's got about 1/1000th the same blood as me. I'm a lifelong progressive activist, and I almost died when I saw that. So I've got to take exception to all the folks who voted for 100%. He's got at least a smidge of real human blood, I promise.

10. I think Chimps are more evolved than Bush

He represents some kind of pre-Chimp strain, maybe a common ancestor to Chimps and humans. And from the way his forehead keeps sloping more each day and his brow ridge seems to grow with every one of his fuck-ups, I'd say he's in complete devolution mode.

12. None of the above...

Chimps are among the more intelligent primates, and share about 98% of their DNA with humans. Bush hasn't evolved that far.

As for Cheney, he shares 100% of his DNA with a poisonous snake.
