Surrender Monkey is not name calling? Don't get me wrong, I don't mind a little name calling, especially when it's well deserved. I always thought "orange idol" had a ring to it, or even Domestic J. Terrorist. Charlie used to indulge.

ItтАЩs a description not a substitution. If I referred to Zuckerberg as тАЬSurrender MonkeyтАЭ that would be wrong.

Also, itтАЩs a Simpsons joke.

A distinction without difference.

Can we describe Trump as a mango Mussolini? I always liked that description.

Occassionally, sure. Just don't let it be a crutch.

If we're "going Simpsons," then there might be some joy in a monkey knife fight.

Folks, can we take a pause in demeaning monkeys? After all, they had the sense to stop evolving into...us!
