Oops, He Did it Again

Just when you thought Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi couldn’t dig his hole any deeper . . . he recently went on record to clarify that he is not, in fact, an anti-Semite after taking heat for a recent interview in which he called Israelis “descendants of apes and pigs.” In fact, Morsi said, he’s not an anti-Semite at all — it’s just that pesky Jewish-controlled media that makes him look like one.
