A Spider Monkey

Many times during U.S. President George W. Bush’s presidency, there have been numerous references of him as a monkey; which I will admit seemed harsh.

But Bush’s mannerism’s towards the delegates at the recent G8 Summit and his continuous disrespect of them, especially during the numerous photo op’s, he did come across as a monkey and many people agreed.

But what type of monkey, as one ponders there thoughts of the many varieties in the world and what finally came to mind; a Spider Monkey.

While a Spider Monkey can be quite adorable in appearance, they have the reputation of very flighty and sometime uncouth mannerisms; as well as sudden irritability.

Furthermore, theoretically in historical Philosophy, there is also a reference towards a stage of an Alcoholic; where one becomes like a monkey.
