I was gonna say “incredible,” but… (UPDATED)

February 23, 2009 By admin

Wow. This is not a joke.

Today’s Washington Post comes complete with preemptive apology:

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. 

Coming next week: the Post regrets using the phrases “attacked and badly mauled woman” and “conjure racial stereotypes” in the same paragraph.

UPDATE: Michelle Malkin emailed me the cartoon:

Yeah, cuz when I see “monkey carrying white woman over his shoulder,” I totally think “black dude”!
