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.

Thanks! I was getting chimps and gorillas and their respective famous scientists mixed up. Then again, I'm sure a chimp has more respectable political sense that what Goodall is spouting here...

She showed how not to do science. She got so involved in her observations that her own presence influenced everything she observed. The queen of "but they are so cute" science.

Even so, politics is not her area of expertise, yet she tries to use her fame as a biologist as a credential to boost her political views.
