Bush Official Lauded Racially Offensive Halloween Costume

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.

  • chadlewis76, on 11/07/2007, -0/+6Who's surprised by this?

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.
  • shawnfassett, on 11/07/2007, -1/+2I'm surprised by this. I'm surprised that nobody is talking about how the Bush Admin is made up of unqualified lackeys that think racist humor is more important than DOING THEIR JOBS! Government can be good and it can help us out...these people are dead set on proving otherwise.

  • inactive, on 11/07/2007, -2/+2Plus, 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.
