Yeah Mary is Hillarie's good buddy. The illegal January date was intended to allow her to hang on till Kerry came to the rescue and could re-appoint her somehow. Now she has to hang on until Hilliary in 2008.

She is in the wonderland of job for life mode. I am certain she thinks no one should be allowed to try to do her job. or that she would surely go to jail if the records are ever seen by a successor.

Actually, seeing her hauled away in handcuffs is EXACTLY what we need to see, and it would be worth thousands of new votes.

She was there for 25 years and no one cared. Now y'all are getting all riled up over another month? Let it pass. She will be gone before most throw the Xmas tree away.

Padlock the office, cut the electricity and shut off the heating vent. Move the agency to an undisclosed location or just reopen it in February.

And here we have, in a nutshell, an illustration of the complete affirmative action, peter principle, failure cycle. This bitch has been afforded every opportunity and courtesy, deserved or not, and still she has the social graces of a crack ho. When are we going to wise up?

GAO couldn't even verify project spending because of the commission's indecipherable record keeping.

Translation: Berry is robbing the taxpayers blind.

It has now become a matter of principle. She should be forcibly removed if necessary. She wants to ignore the rules, but the rules must be enforced.

....saw Mary Francis on C-Span several years ago...she is one hateful racist..... What you talkin' bout, Willis?

I seen her in another interview. I have to agree. She is extremely bitter, extremely hateful and a completely intolerant leftist. She is evil. Like I state before, give people like her the power of Stalin and mass numbers of people would be murdered. She has a totalitarian mindset and luckily she has no real power. To say she is hateful is an understatement. Just think, all this time she has been paid with our tax dollars. That's a sin.

She'll leave next week, as soon as the federal government stops her pay checks.

Post guards at the door and don't let this heinous lesbo enter the offices and hearing rooms. Clean out her office stuff and put it in storage where she has to pay for all moving expenses to get hold of it.

Voila! Problem solved

Thanks, Recall:

The Kirshanow appointment was Berry at her worst. She didn't recognize his appointment. Said he could sit in on mettings, but not speak until her "official" date of appointment in January.

Personally, I'd love to see Berry fired and disgraced.

Jack.

Ah, now it is a matter of principle! After 25 years of abuse it suddenly is a "matter of principle"!

My reply was in no way intended as disagreement. I too have seen her as a reprehensible race-baiter.

I was actually making a rather shallow observation about her appearance. She looks nearly identical to the former California gubernatorial candidate Gary Coleman I didn't post the photo as I didn't want to steal the bandwidth and find the photo replaced with an X-rated alternative.
