Washington Zoo - To appease the conservative right in the Republican Party, John McCain has chosen someone even the Gipper himself would have to approve of, Bonzo. In reality Bonzo is the great grandson of the original Bonzo who appeared in movies with Ronald Reagan back in the 1950s.
"I felt it was important to reach out to the conservatives in the Republican Party and show them what I really think of them and the history of the great Ronald Reagan. Here was a man who could have a chimp as a co-star and still act dignified when he got stuck with George Bush for a Veep. It says a lot about his character and standards as a human being.
"Bonzo understands conservatives and how they think, he has a vocabulary of over 10,000 different symbols, which is more than our current President and I believe Newt Gingrich combined. He even has the approval of Rush Limbaugh. So to those who question my loyalty to the Republican Party, Sppppphhhhtt!!!"
It was then Bonzo's turn to speak. He signs to an interpretor who then translates to English. "John McCain is my kind of guy. He gives me really good bananas, not those cheep ones from Wal-mart that Nancy Reagan buys. I love him...I love his bananas...I join him because of his bananas...I live for bananas..."
He was then cut short by McCain, who insisted they were late for a fundraiser.
