WASHINGTON (AP) -- Just when it appeared Julie Myers had cleared every hurdle in her quest to officially become the nation's top immigration official, a dreadlocked wig and a prisoner's outfit could cost her the job.
Myers, director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, ran into trouble earlier this month after she and two other agency managers gave the "most original" costume award to a white employee who came to the agency's Halloween party dressed as an escaped prisoner with dreadlocks and darkened skin.
The incident drew complaints of racial insensitivity and an apology from Myers. It also cast doubt on whether she'll get a confirmation vote before the end of the year, when her original appointment expires.
It would be a stunning collapse for Myers, 38, a native of Shawnee, Kan., who worked hard over the past two years to convince skeptical lawmakers that someone with little immigration experience was up to the task of running the government's second largest investigative force.

At first I thought "a dreadlocked wig and a prisoner's outfit could cost her the job" meant that she wore the costume.
Oh no ...
She gave someone else "an award" for wearing the costume.
How insennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnstive of her!
I understand harry reid will be releasing a secret video of her actually (gasp!) squeezing the Charmim a local A&P!
Da! In Soviet Russia EVERYONE wear prisoner outfit! Shows solidarity with the proletariat! Soon this nogoodnik be seeing error of having non-revolutionary opinion. Premier Hillary! give her reeducation opportunity in beautiful arctic scenery , you bet.
We had a photo of Bill Clinton in a very curly black wig posted on FR during his presidency. He was partying while on a trip with his donors. Anyone have that picture? Maybe it needs to be seen again?
I don't have that one .....
‘Seems like we are on a race to the bottom.
TRANSFORMERS Mr. Potato Head should have won that.
If she were to wear a costume, say a French Maid outfit, would all be forgiven?
So, someone tell me if I have this wrong...you can’t a job in the immigration dept. for wearing a costume with dreadlocks but you can be a Democrat Senator if you were a member of the KKK?
You can be a Democrat senator if you drive off a bridge while sneaking a young female campaign worker out to a secluded beach for a sexual liaison, and then leaving her to die while phoning lawyers in an effort to weasel out of your crime.
The rats need some help with job qualifications for public office. Here is my list of qualifications:
- Driving off bridges in a drunken state
- Letting your date drown after driving off a bridge
- Driving under the influence after a long Senate session
- Molesting teenage boys
- Storing cold cash
- Advising rape victims to “put some ice on it”
- Making a killing in the futures market
- Inability to recall any facts under oath
- Obstructing justice and lying about sex with interns
- Hiding billing records
- Unindicted co-conspirator to bribery charges
- Rezoning desert property
- Impeachment from a federal judge position
This list is probably incomplete. Every month we seem to have another rat scandal and successful rat coverup.
The fine Washington Post columnist Al Kamen once held a contest via his “In The Loop” column:

And now, a picture of the 43rd president of the United States,
gettin’ down with the rock band “The Boogies.” It happened at
a press party Sept. 5 at a Martha’s Vineyard nightclub owned
in part by singer Carly Simon.
The band features ‘70s tunes and dresses in outlandish costumes, with Afro wigs and such. Toward the end of the party, Bill Clinton went on stage to say so long to the reporters and photographers, who, by general understanding, are off-duty at these events.
Clinton first joked that the band’s costumes could be the new
White House dress code. That’s when a band member slipped up
behind him and put an Afro wig and a strange zebra-like hat
atop his head.
Clinton warned no more press parties if the picture appeared
in the paper the next day. Hey, it’s been three weeks, so we’re
off the hook. The photo was taken by a nonpress person who was a guest there.
The photographer wanted no credit. Guess people will do anything for two Loop T-shirts.

Don’t forget that if you are a RAT, you can have any office you want in the District of Columbia after being caught on tape smoking crack.
this nation used to not make really BAD liars presidents. this country has lost face with itself.
“Letting your date drown after driving off a bridge”
Don’t forget, she didn’t simply drown. She suffocated to death after TWO HOURS in an air pocket.

He’s actually prettier than Hillary!?
This reads like another Trent Lott-type excuse to cashier somebody. This whole thing would otherwise have disappeared in a day or two.
Not that we should complain, of course. Remember, she’s just the crony Bush put in to run ICE without any experience. Oh well, their job is just to find illegal immigrants, not like Bush cares about that.
