I swear I’m not jumping out on a new political limb here, people. It’s just that the news lately is too damn mind-blowing to pass up. Here is another fine demonstration of what the American voter feels is important as we wind down the weeks to new leadership. It’s ironic that they use a monkey to express their views on race. It’s also a fine representation of the utter reluctance to evolve. Do you get the feeling that the shelf life of the United States is growing skimpier by the day? No? God bless your optimism, you little monkey.
(PHILADELPHIA) As the crowd cheered at a Sarah Palin rally this morning in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, a man in the audience grinned as he held up a stuffed monkey doll with a Barack Obama bumper sticker wrapped across its forehead…
After Palin finished her remarks this morning, the man holding the stuffed monkey seemed to notice that a video camera was pointed at him, at which point he removed the Obama sticker from the doll’s head and crumpling it up in his hand. He then handed the doll to a young boy who was watching the rally from his father’s shoulders. The boy’s parents later told CBS News that they weren’t acquainted with the man who gave their son the stuffed monkey.
