Just one week after the fallout over a NY Post cartoon depicting a police officer shooting and killing a chimpanzee while the other cop wondered who would write the next stimulus bill, the Washington Post released an apology for an upcoming article to appear in the Washington Post Magazine.  That’s right, while the county debated over whether or not Rupert Murdock’s Post was spewing racist monkey business, the WaPost nibbled their nails down until finally cracking with this outburst of remorse. 

“The headline, illustration, and text of 'Below the Beltway,' a column in The Washington Post Magazine today, may cause offense to readers. The magazine was printed before a widely publicized incident last week in which a chimpanzee attacked and badly mauled a woman in Stamford, Conn. In addition, the image and text inadvertently may conjure racial stereotypes that The Post does not countenance. We regret the lapse.” 


READ THE REST!!!
