I just love to call Bush the chimp. It's so NATURAL. He's very chimp-like, primitive, doesn't think much, goes by his gut, has extremely close set eyes and a muzzle like mouth.
Australians call John Howard the Rat.
I've even expanded the nicknaming to chimpistration and chimpenomics. It's FUN! For me, it's become second nature to call Bush the chimp. Even the chimp appreciates nicknames!
