McCain: On the joys of ape rape

The greatest headline ever.

Sometimes God just opens up the clouds and yells down "You'll never top the Republican Party on satire. Kill yourself." This is one of those days.

McCain Ape Rape Joke Recalled By Sources

The story, which was reprised on the blog Rum, Romanism and Rebellion before being blasted out by Think Progress, goes like this: In an appearance before the National League of Cities and Towns in Washington D.C., McCain supposedly asked the crowd if they had heard "the one about the woman who is attacked on the street by a gorilla, beaten senseless, raped repeatedly and left to die?"

The punch line: "When she finally regains consciousness and tries to speak, her doctor leans over to hear her sigh contently and to feebly ask, "Where is that marvelous ape?"

Some of you will think this is offensive, but sometimes a man's just got to do some pandering to the ape rape lobby. Cheney and Bush were slaves to Big Oil, McCain is a slave to Big Ape Rape.
