Kansas House Speaker Mike O’Neal
apologized for forwarding an email that referred to First Lady Michelle Obama
as “Mrs. Yo’ Mama.”
The email featured a photo of
Michelle Obama juxtaposed with an image of the cartoon character “The Grinch”
with the subject line reading “Twins separated at birth?” Written in the email
was: “I’m sure you’ll join me in wishing Mrs. YoMama a wonderful, long Hawaii
Christmas vacation — at our expense, of course”
O’Neal forwarded the email to
several of his Republican colleagues in the Kansas House, adding his own words,
“Sorry, just had to forward the latest holiday message! I’ve had worse hair
days but this is pretty funny.”
The Huffington Post reports:
He said Thursday he was sorry to
those he offended, adding that he missed the text in the body of the email. He
said, however, that the picture “made me laugh.” Earlier his communications
director defended him, saying that political cartoons are a “part of American
culture.”
