U.S. District Judge Richard F. Cebull, the federal judge in Montana who sent an email last year suggesting that President Barack Obama's mother had sex with a dog, has retired following an investigation into his conduct.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit announced Tuesday that Cebull had submitted his retirement letter, effective May 3. A special committee had conducted a "thorough and extensive investigation" and submitted their report to the circuit's Judicial Council, which issued a confidential order and memorandum on March 15, according to the court.
In the email forwarded by Cebull, a young Obama asks his mother why he's black and she is white. "Dont even go there Barack! From what I can remember about that party, youre lucky you dont bark!" his mother replies. Cebull told recipients of his email that he hoped it "touches your heart like it did mine." .................(more)

You'd think a federal fucking judge would know better. We expect that kind of crap from your average knuckledragging teabagger or Republican state legislator, but Christ on a waffle, a federal judge?
And I'm always amazed when some damn fool is called to account for some stupid email or Facebook comment, like they think nobody but their friends is ever going to read it? A guy with that level of stupid doesn't deserve to be a justice of the peace in Bumfuck, South Dakota let alone a federal judge. The only positive aspect of people being too stupid to keep their racist thoughts off the Internet is that now we know they're racist as well as stupid.
