Judge Richard Cebull admits to anti-Obama email (nasty racist 'joke' from a federal judge)

The chief federal judge of Montana on Wednesday admitted to sending a racially charged email about President Barack Obama that seems to compare African-Americans to dogs, but denied circulating the note because it was racist, saying he only did it because it was “anti-Obama.”

The email, first obtained by the Great Falls Tribune, was forwarded by Chief U.S. District Judge Richard Cebull last week from his court email account to seven recipients — including his own personal email address — under the subject line, “A MOM’S MEMORY.”

“Normally I don’t send or forward a lot of these, but even by my standards, it was a bit touching. I want all of my friends to feel what I felt when I read this. Hope it touches your heart like it did mine,” Cebull’s email begins.

The text continues on to this joke: “A little boy said to his mother; ‘Mommy, how come I’m black and you’re white?’ His mother replied, ‘Don’t even go there Barack! From what I can remember about that party, you’re lucky you don’t bark!’”

Not at all funny.

he's a ratpublicon! What if a Clinton judge had called Bush's mom the Quaker Oats guy? There'd have been hell to pay. Obama's judges will never be able to get even because the pubs have never let any be confirmed.

sexual comment like these creeps seem to thrive on saying. They seem to have a fetish about canine beastiality, I just don't get it.

How can anybody support this guy as a judge when he judges a person by their race, gender, etc.

(not to mention his personal endorsement of the joke ... usually when crap like this is forwarded, people often just forward it without comment)

Misuse of government equipment, on top of the racism. (Too bad I didn't have my camera with me the day I saw a fire truck parked with an anti-Obama BANNER on it ... not just a bumper sticker ... and the alleged "fireman" standing there, waving his arms to attract attention).

This is in no way like the Shirley Sherrod (sp?) incident, where her remarks were reduced to ONLY the part which made it sound racist. This is him not only forwarding it, but ENDORSING it.
