GOP Rep "Apologizes" For Calling Obama A 'Tar Baby'...


Yesterday GOP Rep. Doug Lamborn, who represents Colorado Springs, speaking about Barack Obama told a Denver radio station...
“I don’t even want to have to be associated with him. It’s like touching a tar baby."
Today Congressman Asshole issued the standard GOP non-apology apology...
In an email, Lamborn spokeswoman Catherine Mortensen wrote, "Congressman Lamborn regrets any misunderstanding. He simply meant to refer to a sticky situation or quagmire.”
...
Monday evening, Lamborn's office sent a news release saying he had "sent a personal letter to President Barack Obama apologizing for using a term some find insensitive."
There's no misunderstanding, Congressman. We understand perfectly. You're a racist stupid asshole. We all know exactly what you meant when you used a highly offensive racially charged expression to refer to the president of the United States.
