…. one of Michelle’s ancestors
Have you ever wished you could have a ‘life-rewind’ button. I’m not talking about rewinding back to when you were a teenager smoking a bong on a Saturday night before finals and changing that to being home, eating a good dinner with the family and studying hard for those grades that now you know you needed. No, I”m talking about a quick ‘30 sec’ rewind.
I’ll bet GOP activist and former chairman of his state’s elections commission, Rusty DePass wishes he had one right now..
Commenting on a report posted to Facebook about a gorilla escape at a zoo in Columbia, S.C., Friday, longtime GOP activist Rusty DePass wrote, “I’m sure it’s just one of Michelle’s ancestors – probably harmless.”
Rusty of course blamed Mrs. Obama for that comment he made, saying that it was “clearly in jest” and that “The comment was hers, not mine,” since she supposedly spoke about evolution recently.
Seriously.. did he think this was a good idea to say on his FaceBook page for all the world to see?
huh, insanity is spreading…

The sad fact is is that if Michelle’s relatives were simians they’d be one rung above people making comments like that.

OK, I’m not going to defend that. It was a dick comment.
