“I’ve got to do something here to open this hour of today’s excursion into broadcast excellence. I need to apologize to both Sen. Obama and to Sen. McCain, ” said Limbaugh. “I had never heard of Curious George. Only now have staffers sent me little pictures of Curious George,” he continued.
“So I wish to apologize to both Sen. Obama and Sen. McCain. It was not my intent to bring dishonor and guttural utterances into this campaign. It happened. I laughed about it. It was a 12 year old kid’s reaction to Obama, it was told by his mother. I was laughing because I was being polite, but I had never heard of Curious George.”
Rush Limbaugh apologizing after laughing when a caller said that Obama had reminded her son of Curious George.
I most certainly do know who Curious George is, having read the story to each of my children numerous times. I must admit, the resemblance is certainly striking. It is most likely because Senator Barry’s ears are at a such high position on his cranial and somewhat prominent. If the man does indeed become president, his caricature will no doubt feature these ears, which brings me to an observation.
Do we know anybody else who is routinely likened to a lower order primate?
The collage of Bush and chimps has been around for at least a couple of years if not longer, and no one every wrote a news story about it.
Rush is just more civilized than left-wingers, but you knew that already.
You have a good point there
The bush vs monkey pictures has been around for ages but since Obama is black the whole thing becomes a little sensitive I guess.

Hahah nice pictures
. I love those, they always make me laugh. Especially the Bush ones.
I never heard about the Bush and Monkey pictures, If this is a standing or running joke, I say leave the news paper alone. We sure cannot have a double standard in this country. When Pres. Bush was bashed I hated it. I have a great deal of respect for him and feel he like others have been treated wrong.
So now Obama is above the same? I don’t think so. Is time that people stand for their rights to speak. If someone is out of line how about educating them. Is sad when a person that is Non-Black can not make a statement. Want to hear racial jokes, listen to the black stand up acts. Problem is calling a black stand up out for statements would just force an attack on the person that called them out. Grow up and start acting like adults. Comedy is comedy.
