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 MOMS MEMORY.
Normally I dont 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, Cebulls email begins.
The text continues on to this joke: A little boy said to his mother; Mommy, how come Im black and youre white? His mother replied, Dont even go there Barack! From what I can remember about that party, youre lucky you dont bark!

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.
