Shirley Sherrod, who was forced to resign from the Department of Agriculture after an out-of-context video of remarks she made were published on a conservative website, is still considering the formal job offer she received from the USDA, she tells CBS News Producer Daniel Steinberger.

The department has offered Sherrod a position titled Deputy Director of the office of advocacy and outreach at the USDA, she says. The offer was delivered in a draft that puts into writing what Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack offered her on the phone last week.

Sherrod said she sat down to read through the offer for the first time this morning, but has not read it in its entirety yet. She still has many questions about the offer before coming to any decision, she said, such as who is the director of the department and whether and how much money is appropriated for the work that should be accomplished in the position.

Do we really need a department of Agriculture? How much food do they produce and exactly what does Miss Affirmative Action Sherrod do for us?

She and her husband already have jobs.

She is a professional victim.

Who is the USDA reaching out to? What is the USDA advocating for or against? More liberal claptrap using auras and emanations that nobody understands.

She IS a professional victim. You just need to look at her face to see the gigantic chip on her shoulder. The USDA job offer is to shut her up and keep her from suing them as well as Breitbart.

Where did I miss something...isn't she suing Breitbart because he supposedly made her lose her USDA job with the videotape?

If she was, or is going to be offered a job back with the USDA won't that negate her lawsuit?

I'm not a lawyer, but it seems that would leave her with "no standing"...a favorite liberal law term for "doing nothing".

Breitbart didn’t force USDA to fire her. Obama forced USDA to fire her. Thats her lawsuit. But since they immediately offered to hire her back, I don’t think she has much of a case there either, but Obama is the source of her problem. Her bosses didn’t stand by her, they ran for the high grass as soon as there was bad publicity.

As for Breitbart, his best plan should be to start pounding away on Pigford. There is a major scandal there. Someone needs to get this thing out onto page one.

This race-baiting worthless POS needs to crawl back into the ghettohole she emerged from.

Sherrod previously worked in rural development for the department when conservative web publisher Andrew Breitbart released a video clip of remarks she made at a recent NAACP conference. The edited video misleadingly gave the impression Sherrod admitted to discriminating against a white farmer.

There was nothing "misleading" about it. She was speaking to a set audience and using a prepared, prearranged script written by her own hand.

Apparently the lawsuit is going nowhere and her cash flow is getting thin.

Deputy Director of the Office of Advocacy and Outreach

Takes one to know one?
