Can Gorillas Sue for Malpractice?

The answer, of course, is no. Even gorillas with a 2000 word English vocabulary may not be party to lawsuits. But this post isn't about the semantic and legal differences between gorillas and Gorillaz. I just have some questions about Senate Majority leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn.), providing medical care for a silverback gorilla.

Did he take silverback gorilla anatomy courses in med school? Does the gorilla have insurance? Is this representative of Frist's health care plan for the tens of millions of uninsured Americans? Did he have nothing better to do 18 minutes before meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert? Did he think gorilla musk would give him an edge in diplomacy? Were the four veterinarians, three technicians, animal keeper and veterinary dentist not adequate?

Perhaps the Senator can clarify the situation.

"Gorillas, people, men. You look at the people here, a symphonic flow of people pitching in. It's the oneness of humanity." He continued, "There's an almost spiritual, poetic component to it. This oneness, this wholeness. You can't compare it to the Senate floor. I immerse myself in it. This is my real life."
