COLUMBIA, S.C. - A former chairman of the South Carolina Election Commission has apologized after his posting on Facebook suggested a gorilla that escaped form a Columbia zoo was an ancestor of first lady Michelle Obama.
Minutes after the gorilla’s escape was reported Friday, Rusty DePass posted: "I’m sure it’s just one of Michelle’s ancestors — probably harmless."

Ah yes, another sure sign that the Republican party is dying

Vote democrat because of this!

I've already registered Democrat!

I'm confused. Who said this? Is the former Commisioner of the Election Committee a Republican? That seems kinda biased.

How old is the gorilla?

What an outrageous thing to say.

Doesn't he know gorillas are cousins, not ancestors?

Perhaps he borrowed the joke from David Letterman's book

All he's got to do now is apologize and he'll be ok.
