Logo-a-no-no

There's nothing funnier today than the unveiling of the 2008 Republican National Convention logo. Is it a Larry Craig reference -- the "wide-stance" elephant reared up and ready for action? Is it a blue dominance over red prediction? Is it GOP as roadkill? Prison stripes?

You can read these and many other hilarious interpretations (and a few Photoshopped re-interpretations) on the highighted DailyKos thread.

This is one of those moment that make a Semiotics degree actually pleasurable.

I'm laying odd the logo is either replaced by the time the Convention rolls around, or else seriously downplayed at the event, i.e. not on any stationary or buttons.

Care to take bets?

My guess is that they'll just replace the elephant with a donkey and see if that fools anybody. (like Michael Steele's bogus bumper stickers in Maryland last year).
