Kansas House Speaker Mike O’Neal apologized Thursday for forwarding an email poking fun at first lady Michelle Obama and referring to her as “Mrs. YoMama.”
The Lawrence Journal-World reported Thursday that O’Neal, a Hutchinson Republican, sent the email from his personal account. The email also had a photo comparing Mrs. Obama to the Grinch and the subject line, “Twins separated at birth?”
The photo has been circulating on the Internet and shows Mrs. Obama’s hair being swept by the wind, recalling a drawing of the fictional Dr. Seuss character from the classic Christmas cartoon. In forwarding the email, O’Neal joked that he’d “had worse hair days.”
“Cartoons are intended to be humorous,” O’Neal said in a statement. “This one made me laugh — I’ve had bad hair days too. I forwarded it too quickly, missing the text included in the body of the email. To those I have offended, I am sorry. That was not at all my intent.”
It was the second email O’Neal sent from his personal account regarding President Barack Obama and his family. The Journal-World reports that O’Neal recently sent along an email to House Republicans referring to the president with a Bible verse that says, “Let his days be few and brief.”

Kansas Democratic party Chairwoman Joan Wagnon said the email demeaned the first lady and that forwarding it was “highly offensive, disrespectful and unacceptable.”
“Regardless of how he feels about President Obama’s politics, Speaker O’Neal’s decision to promote language demeaning Mrs. Obama is simply wrong,” Wagnon said.

The “Worst Lady”?
Why apologize?
One talentless looser married a talentless winner in order to gain wealth.
She boinked for dollars and deserves the derision she gets.
Why apologize indeed...it’s not like those who don’t like this would vote for a Republican anyway.
All great points made. When she said she was not ‘proud of the US’, she lost all credibility as an upstanding representative. The similarity of the hair must not be a coincidence.
These pictures are funny and she does look like the picture of Grinch..only he is green..

Let’s see...people on the right are Nazis, starve children, kill old folks...
There is no “First Lady” in this country. Someone who was never proud of their country until they could ride around the world in a private jet and party on the taxpayer’s dime deserves NO respect.
I’m sure that black rap artists are also deeply offended that anyone would refer to a female as YoMama. The proper term for females is “bitches and ho’s.”
Exactly. He’s made the classic Republican mistake - pandering to the left. He should have taken ownership of it and stated that he thought it was funny, would love to receive more pictures like that and then given out his e-mail address!
*sigh*
I miss Laura Bush. She was a classy lady right down to her fingernails.
