thinkprogress.org — Julie Myers, head of Homeland Security?s Immigration and Customs Enforcement division, has apologized for ?awarding ?most original costume? to a Homeland Security Department employee who dressed in prison stripes, dreadlocks and dark makeup for a Halloween gathering at the agency.? She also had her picture taken with him, which has been discarded.

"dark makeup"? It's "blackface" and it's ludicrous that people find it even remotely entertaining.

Plus, since black men and minorities make up the bulk of America's prison population, it's not at all "original".Now if he had gone as Cheney doing time, THAT would have been original.

Democrats don't have the moral authority to criticize anyone on race. This from the people who call Clarence Thomas a lawn jockey and a happy negro. This from the people who call Condoleezza Rice Bush's brown sugar and a house slave. This from the people who lobbed Oreos at Maryland Lt Governor Michael Steele. This from the party that has never apologized for being the party of slavery and segregation.
