Executive Order Bans Publication of Ape/Monkey-Related Material
Presidential Press Secretary Robert Gibbs announced today that President Obama has signed an Executive Order in the wake of the publication of a controversial cartoon in the New York Post. Gibbs explained, “The Order is directed to the CEOs of broadcast and print media as well as Internet Service Providers and contributors to the internet.â€
He quoted pertinent portions of the Order:
Effective immediately, any and all references to or depictions of any of the great apes or monkeys of any description is hereby prohibited as being contrary to the Administration’s goal of racial equality.
A PRS Operative asked whether the President considered the constitutionality of such a prohibition.
Gibbs responded, “We would expect a stupid question like that from a racist bastard like you.â€
Details at eleven.
Yay! Comments are back! Now, will I get you in trouble if I try to leave a picture of a chimp in the comments with the caption:
“Looks like PRS operatives found Robert Gibbs.”

So it was okay to make those references to Bush, but it now isn’t for Hopey McChange?
What a bunch of thin-skinned mutherf- uh, poopie-heads.

Since I eat a least two bananas a day and have a hairy back-this new rule is welcome.
