Zombie Backlash

Who could have known this would be taken the wrong way? A GOP chairman from a county in Virginia sent out an e-mail with among other things, a picture of Obama as a Zombie with a bullet hole in his head. Needless to say, he was forced to apologize. I got a kick out of the apology...

“Apparently, some individuals have interpreted an image of Barack Obama that appeared within the e-mail as intending to portray the president as a victim of a violent crime. Nothing could be further from the truth, and we deeply and sincerely apologize to the president and anyone who viewed the image if that was the impression that was left."

What is happening to this politically correct country when you can't even innocently portray the president with a bullet hole in his head anymore without somebody misinterpreting it? Presidents who receive record numbers of death threats can be so sensitive.

Wouldn't you have loved to be there for the secret service visit?

"What, oh, the bullet hole? Wow, now that you mention it, yikes, I guess that could be taken another way. We simply drew that on there because zombies often have bullet holes in their heads, and we wanted it to be totally authentic."
