RUSH LIMBAUGH: JUST A SHOELESS YOUNG BOY WHO GREW UP IN THE SHACK NEXT TO THE CLAMPETTS

Of course he'll get away with this. He gets away with everything else, doesn't he?

Conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh issued an on-air apology to Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., today after a caller said her daughter thought the Democratic presidential frontrunner looked like the cartoon character Curious George, a monkey.

Limbaugh, who laughed at the caller's comments, later apologized explaining he didn't know anything about Curious George.

... "I had never heard of Curious George. Only now have staffers sent me little pictures of Curious George," he [said].

"... 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." ...


In related news, Limbaugh later insisted that he's never heard of the internal combustion engine, cellphones, Harry Potter, revolving doors, Michael Jackson's Thriller album, automated teller machines, cable television, or sliced bread.

And by the way, Racist Mom, if your daughter is twelve years old and she's still reading Curious George books, you two have bigger problems to worry about than who gets elected president this year.

UPDATE: An idiot at Protein Wisdom links me while demonstrating that he doesn't know the difference between an ordinary ad hominem insult and a racial slur that goes back years on more than one continent. Hey, but thanks for the hits, schmuck.
