"More dangerous than a monkey with a razor blade"

Say what you will about Hugo Chavez, but he knows how to dish the insults.
I really think that describing George Bush as "More dangerous than a monkey with a razor blade" is a perfect, beautifully descriptive analogy. Spot on. Anyone know if this is a common turn of phrase in Spanish? Never heard it before in English...I laughed out loud when I first read it.
It goes right up there with Clive James' comment on Arnold Schwarzenegger, that Arnie resembles "a brown condom stuffed with walnuts". Abstract but laser-accurate, I wish I could come up with lines like this...

I asked my Colombian girlfriend, she says she has never heard it before as a phrase in spanish.
She also said that even though she hates Chavez, the guy is a genius (albeit an evil one) for coming up with stuff like that.
well here in Venezuela is a common saying...
