Speaking of apologies...
GOP activist Mr. DePass seems to have stuck his foot in his mouth. Then managed to squeeze the other one in there for good measure. Congrats to Mr. DePass.
You just can't make this stuff up, folks.
Michelle Obama Gorilla Comment: NAACP Demands "Proper" Apology
Michelle Obama Gorilla Comment: NAACP Demands "Proper" Apology
AP) The state NAACP is demanding an apology from a former South Carolina official whose Internet posting suggested a gorilla that escaped from the Columbia zoo was an ancestor of first lady Michelle Obama.
NAACP president Lonnie Randolph said Monday that former Election Commission chairman Rusty DePass has not offered a "proper" apology. Randolph says the NAACP isn't giving DePass undue attention, rather decrying racially charged commentary against the Obamas.
Seems he did...well, sort of...apologize...sort of.
"I am as sorry as I can be if I offended anyone. The comment was clearly in jest."
...Then he added, "The comment was hers, not mine," claiming Michelle Obama made a recent remark about humans descending from apes. The Daily News could find no such comment.

I can't wait to hear the deflections on this one.
Game on....
