“DHS employee put on leave after wearing ‘offensive’ costume”

The employee who wore what some said was a racially insensitive Halloween costume to a party hosted by a top immigration official is being directed by the Homeland Security Department Secretary to take administrative leave.

[snip]

[Julie] Myers has served as head of ICE since January of 2006 but is still awaiting Senate confirmation.

Note: Myers was on a three-judge panel that originally praised the prisoner costume for “originality.”

Sounds like damage control is in full force. Putting the person who wore the costume “on leave”, my foot! Fire Myers’ *ss should be the order of the day.

“Here is the bottom line: People do dumb things,” Chertoff said

And he should know.

They seem to be ignoring (or covering up) the fact that the employee was awarded the “Most Creative Costume” by his supervisor. So it’s not just the black-face, dreadlocks-wearing idiot in the prison uniform. Sounds like the Supervisor, and several others , condoned of the costume and thought it was “funny”.

Good Morning everyone!

looks like Dems beat the Repubs yesterday :)

And Kucinich got impeachment ON THE TABLE…and into the Judiciary Committee where traditionally impeachment counts are drafted after a series of hearings. Then they are sent to the floor for a vote before being sent to the Senate.

A big smack-down of Steny Hoyer, and Pelosi tangentially.

Any theories on just what all those Parliamentary manoeuvrings were by the Pugs? Did they really think that the resolution would be immediately voted on without extensive debate and discussion???

I think that may have been what they wanted, but that wasn’t the intent of the co-sponsors.

But we have a still active impeachment articles there in the Judiciary Committee…against Cheney!

I totally agree with you, yesterday afternoon was one brief shining moment of hope. It was kinda fun watching the leadership squirm too. :)

And for those who want to follow the exploits of “America’s Sheriff”, Republican Mike Carona of Orange County…here’s a great link.

He’s gone from being considered a possibility for the Calif State Lt. Generals race or running against Barbara Boxer, and being appointed to Bush’s Homeland Security Advisory Team…to being charged with scores of counts of corruption.

OOOOhhh….fantastic linky! Bookmarked, fur shure. One of the most enjoyable aspects of this story is how much an idiot it makes larry king look with his “America’s sheriff” cr*p.
