It’s the perfect symbol for the Republican party – an elephant frightened by a mouse.

It would be a shame if some enterprising hippy, dressed as a College Republican took it upon himself to sell wacky, but subtle parody t-shirts and/or stickers to the conventioneers.

Please, someone in Minnesota make this happen for all of us.

There’s something vaguely…Cthulhu-ish about the whole thing.

It could be one of the creepy nazi lady’s flying monkeys for all I know.

Damn, you’re right; it IS a monkey taking a crap! With the tusks representing that flaming tailfeathers problem associated with a really spicy dinner.

Someone over at KOS described the head as a monkey taking a crap. Now that I look again, I agree.

One involving having one’s own mid-spine tail loop around and slide subtly up one’s own arse

If you imagine the logo as a novelty tea-pot, then the tail makes perfect sense as the handle,

maybe he could be the official greeter…

There is money to be made off that. Print up T-shirts quick, sell ‘em on the street.

And now that Larry Craig's decided to stick around, maybe he could be the official greeter... Link

I work at one of the hotels within walking distance of the convention center and with almost a year yet to go we are already preparing for that damn thing.

I am not looking forward to it AT ALL. I mean, your average guest at a rather fancy hotel tends to be relatively rude to the help, but then take a group that is specially selected for their smug sense of entitlement (ehem, republicans) and pack in as many as can possibly fit and it makes for an unpleasant work day.

I can only hope that they may all get high. Maybe it would help them chill out a bit… oh, nevermind, what am I thinking. These are republicans we are talking about!

Did I miss a scandal recently? One involving having one’s own mid-spine tail loop around and slide subtly up one’s own arse while marching inexplicably under the Greek flag? I do so try to keep current.

Unfortunately, I live here. The big doings will be downtown at the Xcel Energy Center but traffic is going to be pretty ugly, and that’s just the helicopters. Last time Emperor Fratboy the Mad spoke at the X (a Norm Coleman campaign event if I recall correctly), they posted cops at the top of the Smith Avenue High Bridge (my neighborhood), fully a mile and a half away and across the river. I guess they were expecting Al-Qaeda or other liberals to up on the bluffs with rocket launchers.

“One article said the number was 2.2 million,”

I believe those numbers are statewide. They’ve been busy, busy beavers.

I must truly be a perv; the first thing I thought when I saw that image was “why did they make the 2008 into a big red elephant boner? Oh yeah, this is the homoerotic GOP we’re looking at here”. Honestly, I thought the official image had already been Photoshopped into an angry elephant with a stiffy.
