Flack's faux pas irks boss
Pittsburgh Tribune-Review ^ | May 7, 2006 | Tribune-Review Staff

We can only imagine the flurry in Gov. Ed Rendell's press office last week when the news release was e-mailed en masse to reporters.

There was nothing particularly out of the ordinary about the subject matter -- the Pennsylvania Department of Military & Veterans Affairs helping provide video phones to aid communication between deployed Pennsylvania National Guard members in Iraq and their families.

But at the top of the release was a note from Trena Brown, an office administrator, that she had neglected to delete before sending out the communique.

"Bet this gonna cause a lot of breakups. Can you imagine the boy calling home and seeing something he don't want to see," she wrote, apparently for the amusement of her co-workers.

Brown assumes that everyone else has the same lack of morals as her boss.

Rendell's zipper problem is akin to slick willie's.

The administrator is worse at grammer than I am.

Other than that, let everyone have their laugh, wag your finger at her, then let everyone get back to work.

I can't help myself! My Mother was an English teacher!
That would be "grammar"!
Sorry!
She would tell me that I had been "remiss in not reminding"
you!

Hey, Trena.

If your ole man peeked in on you, ya think he may see something he don't wanna see?

Guilty soul, eh, girl?

Breakups?

A Marine just pumped five bullets into an alleged lover last week.

I see they have a real cute outlook in the governor's office on the military but I'm not laughing.

Can you imagine getting a pink slip because you are jaw droppingly ignorant?

Obviously educated in the Public School System.

Administrator? God help us.

And your point?

There is nothing admirable about the woman's attitude towards the military.

My point wasn't clear, I'm sorry. I don't know that I can make it clear. Her comment angered me greatly.

Laughing about 'breakups'- a servicemember reacting to a relationship issue by 'breaking up' is really ignorant when the everyday pressures on military couples are enormous.

It hit me even more deeply than it might have in light of the recent murder.

Thanks. I didn't get the thought that you were angered by her comments. They were despicable.

Most dems truly do have a low opinion of our heroes.

Yup. I would like to give them a clue. But it wouldn't help.
