Monterey County officials probe racially offensive e-mail

SALINAS, Calif. (AP) - Some 3,200 Monterey County government workers received an internal e-mail with a racially disparaging cartoon, officials said.

The cartoon, which was in computers Monday, depicts a ``Mexifornia'' driver's license with a photo of a sombrero-wearing bandit.

The e-mail prompted an internal investigation by the county's Information Technology Department.

The cartoon originated with an information technology worker who sent it to a few co-workers, he said. One of the recipients took offense and apparently distributed the cartoon countywide.

Not nice, perhaps, but the e-mail/cartoon doesn't begin to approach the dangerous obscenity that is illegal immigration....

The "free healthcare" entitlement should also be listed.

That is the immortal Alphonso Bedoya (not sure of the spelling here) in his role as the bandit chief from "Treasure of the Sierra Madre". His most famous line is from this film: "I don't got to show you any stinkin' badges!".

Humor is largely lost on leftists. They DO respond to ridicule of their enemies (real or imagined) and get a real kick out of any real harm that may befall them (their enemies). Oh and they just fall all over themselves when it comes to bathroom humor (the sound of various bodily functions is just a real hoot to your average leftist).

Umm...yeah. That's exactly what I would do if I took offense to something.

Libs can't laugh unless it's a white guy who's the butt of the joke. Everything (and everyone) else is sacrosanct.
