"Jim DeMint, Tea Party Silverback" -- Am I the only one who heard that?

[Scuba]

Maybe it was just the power of suggestion, but I think I hear a major network talking head refer to DeMint as a "Tea Party Silverback". I backed up and listened again and heard the same thing.


It's appropriate, but perhaps just a fig newton of my imagination.

Anyone else hear that?

1. Haven't heard that,

but I agree it is an apt description. However, it is a nasty swipe at Silverbacks.

He's more like one of those retrocreatures that are pulled from the sea at times. He's a throwback in more ways than one. I would like to throw him back!

2. I heard that as well.

I guess since Bill Frist retired, somebody had to become the silverback.

5. Calling JimDemented a "silverback" is an insult to gorillas, which are indeed noble creatures. Jim

is more like a tapeworm. A useless parasite.

6. as in King of the Knuckledraggers?

7. They actually compared him to an old male gorilla?
