Monkey business

Rachel Lucas on the Limbaugh apology:

I’d understand people getting all hinky about comparing a part-black presidential candidate to a monkey if they hadn’t spent the last 7 years populating the internet with hundreds of thousands of references to the sitting president as a chimp.

But you see, for the Professionally Offended it’s not racism if (1) the target is a white man, and/or (2) it’s them doing it.

With 388,000+ Google hits on "George Bush chimp" as of this morning, you’d think this would be disarmed. You’d be wrong.

Oh, and Rachel has pictures.

UPDATE 080304 23:45:  Protein Wisdom also has a discussion.

These things must be worked out very carefully...

LATER (080301 16:44):  If you made it to the comments, you might want to check out the follow-up post.  On the other hand, you might not. (You have been warned.)
