Entitled, "Timeline of Investigation and Ongoing Travel Abuses," the paper showed that Neely continued to travel even after Johnson was first advised in May 2011 about suspected fraud and abuse at the October 2010 conference.
An email described as to Neely from his wife, Deb, in preparation for the 17-day February trip, read: "Its yo birfday ... we gonna pawty ...." Making fun of ebonics on your work email? Stupid. I hope they all get fired. All you government workers are frigging useless. |
Not to defend the guy for the abuses, I think it's a jump to call him a racist on this basis. First off, a joking use of dialect may be insensitive, but I don't think it rises to the level of racism. Perhaps more important, it looks to me to be at least as likely to be intended as baby-talk (infantics?) rather than ebonics, especially "pawty". |
we'll remember that next time you expect a social security check or a tax refund ... turd. |
is this a serious thread? |
Remember that when I expect MY OWN money back? |
Oh I forgot about the double standard. A republican can draw Obama in feathers with a bone in his nose and it's ok. Any possible comment by a dem is met with angry shouts of "racism".
Also you misquoted. The email did not contain "birfday". You wish it did because that is the offensive word. But it didn't. Where do you get off "enhancing" the truth. http://foxnewsinsider.com/2012/04/17/gsa-scandal-continues-to-grow-emails-expose-jeff-neely-bragging-about-traveling-on-the-taxpayers-dime/ |
NP here. The article I read yesterday said "birfday" too. I think it was ABC. |
This is a "scandal" that could only occur amongst a bunch of white boys. If the right-wingers had any diversity at all, they would know that the woman was quoting from a 50 Cent song, "In Da Club":
"Go, go, go, go Go, go, go, shawty 'Cause it's your birthday We gon' party like it's yo birthday We gon' sip Bacardi like it's your birthday..." http://www.lyrics007.com/50%20Cent%20Lyrics/In%20Da%20Club%20Lyrics.html |
Hey Jeff, thanks for pointing that out. I was taken aback when I read the language used in the email. Now it makes sense. |
hell, yeah, since you're so all fired and convinced with your head firmly up your ignorant ass.... the original comment is completely fucking idiotic ... verbal diarrhea except when you need emergency services, VA care, or any of a thousand other things that the more-than-competent majority of Feds provide, you whine like a sorry ass little baby when you don't get it right away. You're an ignorant troll. |
