And because everyone loves an encore…

***UPDATE: Diane Black’s website has been taken off-line and her staff is not answering either of the phone numbers I provided. Innundated is the word that comes to mind. And while the Tennessee Democratic Party has called for the firing of Goforth, Black was on CNN defending her earlier today. To have your voice heard, email is the best avenue here. You can cc Tennessee’s governor at: Phil.Bredesen@tn.gov. Please spread the word.

Thank you.

Sherri Goforth, an executive assistant for Sen. Diane Black of Tennessee, sent the following “Historical Keepsake Photo” to people in her email list:

This time, the apology was for sending the photo to the wrong email list. “I went on the wrong email and I inadvertently hit the wrong button,” Goforth said. “I’m very sick about it, and it’s one of those things I can’t change or take back.”

Very sick about it. Hmmm. I’m not quite sure I know what she’s talking about.

Sherri Goforth has been reprimanded but is keeping her job. It’s what I like to call the wink-and-nod reprimand. I personally think it’s worthy of a quick email or phone call to Ms. Black’s office.

Here. Let me make it easy for you:

sen.diane.black@capitol.tn.gov

You can even contact Ms. Goforth, should you be so inclined.

I’ve emailed–we’ll see what the response is.

I’m starting to think that another great side effect or having Obama as President is to open the eyes of many of us who would otherwise never believed this kind of crap existed.

I’ve emailed too. I cannot believe she is allowed to keep her job.

I sent an e-mail and I will share the link. I see that her name is sparking up on Google Trends, so people are talking. Thanks for the heads up. This stuff flies around me 24/7 here in Redneck North. I speak up against it constantly…but it’s like trying to empty the ocean with a teaspoon.

I recently saw a bumper sticker on a Saturn in the mall parking lot that said, “Do not assume I share your prejudices”. I wanted to wait for the person to come back so I could shake their hand, but I didn’t. I need one of my own.

Thanks Aaryn.

Oh. My. God.
I am speechless (but again, really surprised?)
Thanks for the update, too. I will send my email right now.
