By BaxterShall we all pile onto the Shirley Sherrod story? Although we cats usually try to talk about topics that aren't being discussed absolutely everywhere else, we'd be remiss if we didn't comment on this one. And we have just a few things to say.
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack appropriately groveled this afternoon. He deserved to. But in today's political environment it was also an act of rare courage. Why? Because in addition to apologizing profusely and offering Ms. Sherrod another job, he took questions from real-live reporters. That's more than Sarah Palin, Rand Paul or Sharron Angle would do.
If Shirley Sherrod can be offered a new job at Ag, why can't she have her old one back? Just wondering.
Finally, the next time FOX "News" and repulsive Republican bloggers try to gin up a fake "you gotta fire this person in the Administration" story, they need to be told to go fuck themselves. Got that, Democrats?
