Yes it is.

Seems like the punishment fits the crime. This will give her some quiet time to try to get her own life straightened out before she wreaks havoc on others.

Oh yes you is.

Cofield was before the council who were considering five violations of the judicial code in connection with her arrest in October, 2008 on drunk driving charges. Cofield was given a 240 day suspension by the council. (AP Photo/Bob Child)

I wonder which of the two offenses the State considers more heinous:

Drunk driving or "hate" speech?

We'll find out soon...

[Bon mots]

Why isn’t she fired?

She will get a slap on the wrist.
Let a white man say those things to a cop and see what happens.

"The woman I observed that night is not the woman I am."

"The woman"? LOL, nice try.

No babe, it was YOU. Stop the BS.

Judge Susan S. Reynolds appeared to stump Cofield when she asked why Cofield's comments were not racist.

Perhaps, your Honor, only whites are racist and O-biased in the eyes of the law.

Fake hair, fake nails, fake apology

[martin_fierro]

A Connecticut Superior Court judge charged with drunken driving and using racial slurs while arguing with police officers was suspended Monday for 240 days by a judicial review panel.

A travesty.

She should be off the bench entirely.

[YHAOS]

By definition, this did not happen.

[calex59]

Notice that she didn't get suspended for drunk driving but for making racial slurs to a officer. I, personally, don't give a rat's behind what kind of slurs she made to the officer but find it extremely bothersome that this so called "superior court judge" was driving around drunk. Also, she is black, so how can she have made racial slurs to a black cop?

To top it off they use the word Negro as an example of a racial slur. When did that become a "racial" slur?

Just more political correctness coming out. It is more damaging to argue with cops than to drive drunk. What a crock of sh**!

[GovernmentShrinker]

I’m having a little trouble getting sympathetic about “one of the worst experiences of her life”. She was driving drunk and if she hadn’t been stopped, she might well have ended someone else’s life that night. ONE DUI should disqualify someone from serving as a judge.

...which shows her using the N-word,...

Why have we become so politically correct, that we must now categorize a slang derivative of the word "Negro", so reprehensible, that we can only say it as the: "N-word"? I am not attempting to deny the reprehensibility of the "N-word", used as a pejorative by white robed idiots and uneducated white trash and by the hip-hop dimwits in describing themselves in their artistry of rap...but.

I have noted, that even in court room testimony, it is frequently accepted by the judge, as "the N-word", going into official transcripts as such.

Soon, the "N-word" will be adapted by racists in common use as much as the "N-word" is now, and the "N-word" will be replaced by...what?

Agh!...my head is spinning...see what this damn PC stuff does to a person?

Will we see a white robed fool standing on a street corner, exhorting the racist mass to lynch an "N-word"?

Will we see movies, that in attempting to portray the downtrodden masses, cast a southern accented idiot, standing on the portico of his mansion, surveying his cotton fields, making the statement: "Git them n-words in the field and make them pick that cotton!"?

Where will it end?

Will it then become the n-word "N-word"?

What shall we do with the "S-word"?

Or the "F-word", for that matter?

As it stands now, I can be politically correct whilst standing in public and shouting "F-word", "S-word", and "N-word", right?

I guess it becomes wrong when we say (shout): n-word!, f-word!, s-word! and G**Damn! and p-word and c-word.

These attempts to not offend anyone have become tiresome and they offend me.

I apologize if anyone is offended.

And note...that was the "new" apology...wherein one apologizes for the feeling of offense that one may feel, not the offense itself.

Seems to be a liberal thing, you know?
