Actually, it wasn;t a chimp anyway, it was just an attempt to represent that guy from Mad magazine.
Maybe I just didn’t get the joke, but... when I first saw the cartoon I thought the chimp was supposed to represent Congress, not the President, since Congress drafted the stimulus bill.
And anyway, Zero didn't write this bill, it was Congress.
I don’t know why it is that blacks always assume that any reference to a monkey refers to them. When I saw the cartoon, I thought of the thing about a million monkeys sitting at computers randomly typing all day being able to reproduce the works of Shakespeare or some such thing; in other words, I thought it was a comment on the haphazard nature of the stimulus bill and the people who wrote it (Congress).
I wish these “black leaders” would just grow up and get a life.
