A wealthy dowager went on safari with her beloved dachshund. One night, in the middle of the Serengeti, the dog got out and found itself lost in the jungle primeval.
Alone and frightened, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a leopard stalking him, getting ready to pounce. Realizing he was about to be eaten, the dog thought furiously and then, having an idea, started pushing around a pile of old bones next to him, saying loudly, "that sure was one tasty leopard, I wonder if there are any others around here".
The leopard, just before pouncing onto the dog, heard this, and slinked away, grateful for having avoided a rather dangerous encounter.
But a monkey was nearby, and saw the whole thing, and wanting to be in the leopard's good graces, he went over to the big cat and told him that he had just been made to look like a fool.
Now angry, the leopard (with the monkey sitting on the leopard's back) ran back to where the little dachshund sat. And once again, the little dog saw the leopard with the monkey on its back storming towards it, ready to devour him.
So he again decided to deceive, shouting, "Where the hell is that damned monkey? I told him to get me another leopard half an hour ago!".
The moral of the story: if the GOP can't dazzle us with brilliance, they will baffle us with bull.
