*Editor’s Note* It is my understanding that the following video is a campaign advertisement used by candidate Roger Williams of Texas. It appears that some democrats are not exceptionally fond of the ad and the utilization of donkeys (the mascot of the Democrat Party).
While viewing the video, in your mind attempt to replace those donkeys with elephants (mascot of the Grand Old Party) and remember that Mr. Williams makes reference about how that even though donkeys have large ears, “they just aren’t listening”, and then think about how large elephants ears are.
I think any sour grapes by the democrats can more easily be traced to jealousy for not having been cleaver enough to come up with an advertisement that grabs one’s attention and makes a point. Another point in all of this to be considered is to wonder who the moron(s) was/were who thought up asses and fatter asses as mascots for political parties.
Which reminds me of the story of the two men on a military base who were assigned to go out to the end of a large field and dig a hole to bury a dead mule in. While digging, the two men got into an argument as to what the “proper” name was for a donkey. One thought mule, the other donkey.
After some lengthy and tiresome digging and repeated arguing, the base Chaplain sauntered by and heard the two men arguing. He stop to inquire, “What are you two men doing?”
“We’re digging a hole to bury that dead animal over there in.” replied one of the men. “Perhaps you can settle a disagreement we have. I say it’s a mule and he says it’s a donkey.”
The Chaplain thought a minute and then decided use of the Bible would be appropriate. He explained that according to the Bible, when Jesus came to Jerusalem just prior to being crucified, he rode upon an “ass”.
And with that the Chaplain left.
Shortly thereafter a junior officer approached the hole to see what was going on. He asked, “Are you digging a donkey hole?”
One man eagerly replied, “Not according to the Chaplain!”
