A prominent US politician, Marilyn Davenport, is in trouble for sending out an email with a photo of chimpanzee parents and their infant. Barack Obama’s face is superimposed on the chimpanzee infant, and the caption reads: “Now you know why no birth certificate.” It refers to the “birther” theory that Obama was not born on US soil, and is therefore ineligible to serve as president.

That in itself is not necessarily enough to get  into trouble, but I’m sure by looking at the picture above you can spot another reason why people are upset.

Davenport, a member of the Southern California Republican Party central committee, made no attempt to hide the fact that she was behind the email, and simply had this to say to the media:

You’re not going to make a big deal about this are you?

No, the media probably will make a big deal out of this.
