"Homeland Security employee on leave over Halloween costume; Apology issued; inquiry underway" by Suzanne Gamboa/Associated Press November 7, 2007
Pffft!
Bunch of racist fascists, and they are blowing hate speech laws up our butts?
Pffft!
WASHINGTON - A Homeland Security Department employee has been placed on leave for wearing a Halloween costume that drew complaints from other workers as racially insensitive - even as it won "most original" honors from managers at an agency party.
And it won a prize, too! These fucks don't even know they are racists!
An inquiry is underway to determine proper sanctions in the incident, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said yesterday. He declined to criticize Julie Myers, assistant secretary of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement division, who had apologized for the incident involving an unidentified employee.
The employee's costume of dreadlocks, dark makeup, and prison stripes was deemed by Myers and two other managers as the "most original" at the party. After receiving complaints from some employees, Myers e-mailed an apology to her staff, saying a few costumes at the party were inappropriate and offensive.
Did they torture him, too?!
Myers posed for photos with the employee but they were discarded, said Kelly Nantel, Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokeswoman.
Awww, she even posed for pictures!
And what do you mean they were discarded?
EVIDENCE was THROWN OUT?
At DHS? WTF?
Chertoff, said Myers was right to apologize: "People do dumb things. I get very perturbed when there's anything that is done that suggests with respect to enforcement of the law we are anything but evenhanded. The idea you can come and impersonate someone of another ethnic group, that is completely unacceptable."
Yeah, unless they are Muslim, then, you know...
"I'm quite sure it bothers her. She was kind of caught by surprise by this and in the middle of the party, and I know she's mortified, but I think she's doing what she needs to do at the moment."
Yeah, people are always caught by surprise when they are doing what comes naturally!
Then they scarmble to issue false apologies and false mea-culpas!
President Bush installed Myers while the Senate was in recess after it became clear she might not win Senate confirmation.
Some Democrats have questioned her qualifications for the job and whether she received it because she is the niece of General Richard B. Myers, a former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. She also is married to John Wood, former chief of staff to Chertoff.
She's got CONNECTIONS!!!!
The Senate allowed her to keep her post in September, saying she had eased concerns about her qualifications."
Wonder if she'll be staying around now.
Probably. The no-accountability factor!
Of course, if Imus did this he'd have to bend over!
