1. This is the CNN report about the "Michelle is a gorilla" comment.

[Nicole Lambeth]

2. yes, I got that...kinda the reason I posted.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

4. I posted in case there are other folks who have seen it and didn't ..

... want to sit through a commercial to see something they have already seen. :)

3. oh, that cannot be right. gov grifter whined last week that when "he who must be obeyed"

said to leave his family alone, ALL the media listened.

(I honestly didn't know she was capable of reading john mortimer)

[monmouth]

5. Now that POS was offensive..David Letterman??? Not so much...n/t

[JenniferJuniper]

6. Not to mention the fact that Letterman was joking and

this guy means what he says.

7. Ugh is right.

What an ass.

And, of course, the patented Republican non-apology apology:
"I'm sorry if YOU were offended."
"It was clearly a joke."
"She said it first, not me."

[clear eye]

8. There's one party bigshot who won't ever get on CNN.

Calling such a vile remark a "joke" doesn't hold water no matter who says it. Michelle Obama is not a political office-holder and deserves the courtesy given all law-abiding private citizens. His remark was a completely unprovoked attack of the most offensive imaginable nature.

I know some of us are remembering that we called former pResident Bush a chimp, but he started it when he started getting people killed(pollution, poorly administered death penalty, etc.), among other things, back in TX. It was self-defense.
