Ok, I'm confused - I thought "Gorillas in the Mist" Jane Goodall was dead, killed in her African hut by poachers after gorilla parts. Or was that some other primateologist? Or was that part of the movie and not real life?

Gorillas In The Mist was the biographical movie about Dian Fossey. She studied lowland gorillas, much as Jane Goodall has studied chimpanzees. Rush contributed to the confusion yesterday on his show when he used gorillas and chimpanzees interchangeably, as he discussed Goodall and her ridiculous UN speech, covered in this article.

Goodall....fine example of a person who has contributed much in her own field, now considers herself an expert on politics. No different really, than Barbra Streisand, and equally leftist.

The "Gorillas in the Mist" woman was Dian Fossey, not Jane Goodall. Does that clear up your confusion?

I think that was Diane Fossey, not Jane "eco-nutball" Goodall.

You're thinking of Joy Adamson of "Born Free" fame. She was murdered by poachers.
