http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/01/06/kansas-house-speaker-apologizes-for-calling-first-lady-mrs-yomama/
Kansas House Speaker Mike ONeal, from the city of Hutchison, sent an email before Christmas that compared the presidents wife to the Dr. Seuss character The Grinch, with a tagline asking: Twins separated at birth?
Im sure youll join me in wishing Mrs. YoMama a wonderful, long Hawaii Christmas vacation at our expense, of course, the forward read.
Sorry, just had to forward this latest holiday message! ONeal wrote. Ive had worse hair days but this is pretty funny.
In a statement to The Lawrence Journal-World, a newspaper in Kansas that was first to obtain the emails, ONeal apologized for missing the offending text. To those I have offended, I am sorry, he said. That was not my intent.[div]
