Look out, Bobby the Duck, there's a new beast on the campaign trail.

That's right. Grandpa Gorilla, a giant inflatable gorilla, will be following Sen. Rick Santorum around as he runs for re-election, according to a group angry with Santorum's stance on Social Security.

Washington, DC-based Americans United is sending Grandpa around to protest Santorum's support for privatizing Social Security.

"We don't want folks mucking around with Social Security," said spokesman Brad Woodhouse.

2. Well, that's kind of silly . . .

However, if it turns Santorum rallies into even more of a freak show, that's all good.

3. And Here I Thought The Monkey Was W!

That would have been too obvious....

4. Turnabout is fair play, for Mr. Man On Dog.

6. This made Wicked Trio's Wordpress blog, Screeching Rats last night.

Hilarious, it has the poster that people are encouraged to pass around in PA to publicize the event. Looks like a "Pennsylvania Death Cage Match" flyer!

7. Man on gorilla?

9. You never know with Mr. Santorum

But if I were to proffer some advice, I'd tell that gorilla to watch his ass.

8. They are smart to go after the bastard on Social Security.

It's the winning issue. Webb ought to pay attention.
