Imagine for a moment, the type of high journalistic standards we should expect in this country, then watch this:

Yep, she really did call the President of the United States a monkey. Nice try to attempt to cover it up with the monkey in the middle line but I am sorry, it doesn’t cut it.

What a disgrace, but probably an acceptable one to many. I am also relatively certain those in charge at MSNBC will have very little or nothing to say about their disrespectful “news(ahem)caster.”

*Update: So here is the apology from Ms. Burnett about the “stupid thing” she said:

You know, generally I am a forgiving person as everyone is entitled to make a mistake, but in this instance the original statement seemed more genuine than the apology.

Sorry, Ms. Burnett, just the fact that it appears you are reading from copy makes this mea culpa seem empty and lame.
