I didn&#8217;t read comic books.  There was one time my mother was going to have to be gone, so she made me heat up a Swanson&#8217;s fried chicken TV dinner.  I wanted to read something while I was eating, it was some cartoon, I can&#8217;t even tell you what the comic book was.  Oh, I also watched Clutch Cargo, but I have no idea who this Curious George guy was.  Now I do. I&#8217;ve seen the pictures of Curious George, everybody is telling me about Curious George.  So I wish to apologize to both Senator Obama and Senator McCain.  It was not my intent to bring dishonor and guttural utterances into this campaign.  &#8230;  In fact, I can tell you, I have never seen a cartoon starring a monkey, unless there was one on the Flintstones, but I think those were dinosaurs and alligators. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: right;\">&#8212;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.politico.com\/blogs\/michaelcalderone\/0308\/Rush_Limbaugh_apologizes_to_Obama.html\">Rush Limbaugh<\/a>, on his radio show yesterday<\/div>\n<p>Via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.radosh.net\/archive\/002218.html\">Radosh.net<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>[Limbaugh caricature by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stevebrodner.com\/\">Steve Brodner<\/a>.]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I never read Batman, never read Superman, never read Flash.
