MONROE, Wash. -- The head of the Snohomish County Republican Party is apologizing after volunteers sold fake $3 bills depicting Sen. Barack Obama in traditional Arab headgear, with a camel.

The volunteers were manning the Snohomish County GOP's booth at the Evergreen State Fair in Monroe, according to the Herald of Snohomish County.

The bills identify the likely Democratic nominee for president as "Da Man" and show signatures for "Teddy Kennedy, Chief Socialism Advisor," and "Al Sharpton, New Spiritual Advisor."

Snohomish County Republican Party chairwoman Geri Modrell told The Herald that she called volunteers in the booth to have it removed when she first heard about it on Tuesday.

"I want to apologize to anyone upset or offended by seeing it," she told the paper.

And what did Obama say?

The republicans will try to scare you by saying I don't look like those others presidents........

The character assassination swift boating tactics of the rethuglican party are so predictable.

But they are not racist if they apologize afterward.

Just a bunch of slime balls.

And what did Obama say?

The republicans will try to scare you by saying I don't look like those others presidents........

Yup.

And there is never an apology for the offense, but an apology to any who are offended. Big difference.

This is what desperation looks like. When you can't argue on the issues, make up some crap.
