How are the Republican politicians doing with the email today? Not too good, as usual! It’s a busy Monday, as one Republican official already got busted doing racist anti-Michelle Obama stuff on the Facebook, and now we’re learning about some super-funny racist emails sent out by a Tennessee GOP legislative staffer for Republican state senator Diane Black. Let’s meet the charming Sherri Goforth, who sent the image above to god knows how many people because, ha, a Negro in the White House?

Nashville Is Talking reports:

When I asked her if she understood the controversial nature of the photo, Goforth would only say she felt very bad about accidentally sending it to the wrong list. When I gave her a second chance to address the controversial nature of the email, she again repeated that she only felt bad about sending it to the wrong list of people.

“I went on the wrong email and I inadvertently hit the wrong button,” Goforth told NIT. “I’m very sick about it, and it’s one of those things I can’t change or take back.”

Yes, yes, Republicans must be careful not to hit the “wrong button” when sending out the racist bullshit. Sadly, our liberal technology sector has yet to create a button that would only send your racist fuckwad idiocy to fellow mouth-breathing racist cretins who think there is NOTHING as funny as the idea of … people with dark complexions. Even when you’re just sending the Funnies to proper white folk, there is still often a “N.L.” who will complain about old-fashioned Southern comedy.

1. My favorite comment from Wonkette:

"Sherri Goforth and fuck yourself."

Sadly, Sherri will probably find plenty of employment after her "regrettable" departure from Diane Black's office.

2. Will Sherri get fired for this?

I think only because of the unwanted attention it might bring. But if it blows over in a big hurry, Ms. Goforth's job is probably safe.

4. She will probably get a raise in pay.

3. You could call Sen. Black's office and let them know how you feel

6. I think it's hilarious...

...that she hit "Send" without checking that she was sending it to the right list of closet (or not) racists it was intended for.

Glad we can be clear on her position. I only wish we had a copy of the list of people she thought it was safe to send this to.

Anyway, :rofl: here... because I love it when these idiots get the trigger-happy fingers on the "Send" button and screw themselves royally.

7. It's like Norm said, the key to Republican success is in the ethernet.

Go Pubbies! Post and email your little hearts out so that everyone sees what you truly are.

8. Here is my email to her office.

Dear, Ms. Black,

Your office should be ashamed for sending out the racist Presidents' picture. I
realize republicans are upset about a black president but President Obama is a
bigger and better man than the people who created this shameful material.

I saw it on the internet and didn't believe that things like that are in your
office.


Sincerely

9. They're not sorry for being racist assholes... only sorry for being exposed.

What can you say about people like that?

11. Link give me a 404.

13. Just worked for me when I checked it. Still there. NT

12. Probably could, but have no desire to as evidenced by the

'hit the wrong button' comment. She must have 2 e-mail lists: one that is okay with this kind of crap, and one not so much.

ETA: I really need a 'shaking my head in shame and disgust' emoticon.

14. No. They can't.
