Just when you think the Republickers have hit bottom, they plumb new depths
Snohomish County GOP apologizes for fake Obama bills

A Snohomish County Republican volunteer was caught passing out a controversial kind of currency at the Evergreen State Fair earlier this week: a fake $3 bill depicting Sen. Barack Obama wearing an Arab headdress.

Republican leaders put a stop to the bill's distribution Tuesday, and the county's party chairwoman apologized for what the volunteer apparently believed was "just a real lark."

The bill features a smiling, shirt-collared image of the presidential candidate wearing a white headdress. It reads "the concerned states of America" and "the prince of platitudes" across the top, and bears the signatures of "Teddy Kennedy, Chief Socialism Advisor" and "Al Sharpton, New Spiritual Advisor."

There is an insignia of a camel, and the bill's serial number reads: IBD14UOK. (In other words, "I be de one for you, OK.")

1. That is SO WRONG -- I'm glad they put an end to it, and I hope they
no longer consider him a volunteer. Asshole.

5. They only removed it when it was discovered by a non-believer. The pukes never voluntarily cease
a disgusting act on their own. The only motivation is to minimize the (occasional) negative publicity that results when they go too far over the line.

6. The stupid little fucker
should be charged with counterfitting currency. I've live 55 miles south Snohomish County and can tell you that outside of the city of Everett, there are lot of ignorant red-necks living up there..some of them have just now learned to read.
