Time to replace the donkey with a new symbol?

[Gabi Hayes]

[Yollam]

1. How about a widdle, cuddly, non-threatening...

...bunny wabbit?

[Gabi Hayes]

2. Ecce Achordata

[Gabi Hayes]

3. get up, stand up.....

[bklyncowgirl]

4. Jellyfish are transparent. Politicians not. I vote for a stuffed mouse.

Timid, harmless, greedy and no backbone whatsoever.

[Gabi Hayes]

6. great point, but this one isn't so transparent anymore

get up, Senator Lieberman!

[Blackthorn]

9. That is one hell of a specimen. Incredible.

I wouldn't do that organism the injustice of being compared to humans.

[_dynamicdems]

5. Spineless. Yup. This is a very sad day. n/t

[napi21]

7. Naw, it should be a crab! Don't they always just move sideways

and snap their claws a lot, but NEVER attack?

[Gabi Hayes]

12. funny you should mention that....is this another jelly, or some gaseous

ejecta from the Crab Nebula, via the Hubble?

[Jackpine Radical]

8. I dunno--the jackass still works for me.

[laruemtt]

15. this picture is cracking me up!

i can't stop laughing!!!

[Demeter]

10. An Ostrich

Too big a body and wings to small to fly, too ugly and viscious to raise as a pet, suitable for overpriced, low fat fillets and leather boots for the mighty rich. And the head in the sand: it's a perfect match.

Plucking the tailfeathers for high fashion and sport, I'm sure there are other innuendoes that can be added. Has the ostrich been declared endangered? Not yet, can't say the same for Democrats.

[laruemtt]

11. no - the jellyfish can cause some pain -

looks like our dems can't inflict anything. they're just a bunch of siwwy wabbits.

[durablend]

13. I'm voting for a doormat

I know, it's not animate, but still...

[ChairmanAgnostic]

17. the democratic 19 are inanimate, too. It is fitting.

[ourbluenation]

14. Very good - counting down till the freeps post this over there.

way to give em salt to cram into our wounds.

[Gabi Hayes]

20. tough toenails. they deserve, and I emphasize THEY, as our

non-reprepesentatives, they deSERVE all the contumely upon which our fascist friends choose to heap.

HOW many of those DINOS left the fold?

how many?

I'm disgusted beyond expression

ineffably

[ourbluenation]

28. Both my senators voted no - they ain't no stinking jellyfish thank you

very much. Boxer and Feinstein. Me and my peeps were represented very well today.

[Gabi Hayes]

29. yes, I'm well aware, but wouldn't it be nice if we had anything

approaching the uniformity of the other party when it really matters?

fifteen defections, were there? a THIRD of the entire contingent

unbelievable

nauseating

[Botany]

16. a rented mule?

[hatrack]

18. How about the slug? Soft, slimy, always looking for the next meal . ..

They "plop" when compressed by a passing foot and they just fizz and dissolve when you pour salt on them.

[Gabi Hayes]

22. HAR!!! can you guess which one's the slug?

[sweetheart]

19. deep blue

with a thing floating through,
lion, moose, or native spruce,
DLC corporate logos sold,
Donkey's proof that nothings bold,
Howard dean can change the mold
'til then donkey be the fold.

[peekaloo]

21. whatever micro-organism that feeds on elephant dung.

[CatWoman]

23. that would be a dung beetle

[peekaloo]

25. LOL not a Tumble Turd, something WAY smaller.

[Gabi Hayes]

24. SISSY-phus, the Demdung Beetle?

EDIT: unbeLIEVable! swear to god, I did that picture w/o seeing yours!

[CatWoman]

26. hey!!!

:P

great minds, you know :D

[Gabi Hayes]

27. I know.....I would/ve had that up before yours, but I was trying to

think of a suitable caption!



this would have gone better with caption....a real dungball, it would seem, according to the site

[deflated]

30. Like much of our leadership

Floats with the tide.

[Hotler]

31. Corndog! eom.

[IkeWarnedUs]

32. I nominate the Push-me-pull-you

Remember the Push-me-pull-you from the original Dr. Doolittle? It was like two llamas facing away from each other, joined at the waist.

Not unlike Howard Dean's DFA-leaning DNC and the Democratic Leadership Council (DLC), pulling the other way.



Llama's are kind of close to donkeys.

[MadisonProgressive]

33. I say a possum

Freeze while people club you to death.

[liberaltrucker]

34. Good symbol for spineless fucks

nt

[Odin2005]

35. Many left-wing parties in Europe use a rose.
