RIP: Beloved Old Cheetah Has Sadly Died

While that headline might catch Hillary’s attention I’m actually referring to this handsome star of stage and screen

Cheetah the chimpanzee, who acted in classic Tarzan movies in the early 1930s, died of kidney failure Saturday at Suncoast Primate Sanctuary in Palm Harbor, a sanctuary spokeswoman said.

Cheetah was roughly 80 years old, loved fingerpainting and football and was soothed by nondenominational Christian music, said Debbie Cobb, the sanctuary’s outreach director.

    80 years old! How much is that in Pelosi years?

    Too bad. I’d rather see Cheetah in Congress than most of the Congresscritters already in place.

    Cheetah looked better at 80 than Weissmuller did.

    Now there’s some doubt as to whether it was “the” Cheetah: http://movies.yahoo.com/news/did-cheetah-1930s-tarzan-flicks-die-215133988.html
