3 Little Monkeys...err...

From the AP...

"An Illinois delegate for Democratic Sen. Barack Obama resigned after using the word "monkeys" to describe black children playing in a tree, the Obama campaign said Tuesday."

File this snippet in the DON'T-BE-GAY bin.

"Cmdr. Michael Kilbourne said Tuesday a ticket was issued because the ordinance bans conduct that disturbs or alarms people. One of the boys told police he was scared by her comment and a mother said she was disturbed, he said."

but what if she called them "flying squirrels," or "koalas," or any other kind of tree dwelling animal?

just thinking out loud.
