Translation: Lesbian driver texting her lover crashed into another train.

Brief tutorial for the media....SHE is a woman who dresses like a man. That doesn't make HER a "HE". Does SHE have a penis? No. therefore a WOMAN. A lesbian woman.

Well, that’s what you get when you hire someone because they are from a certain group, and not because they are the best person for the job.

He admitted to texting almost immediately but the subject matter wasn't specified. Here is an article just posted on the Boston Herald

That won't stop Obama from "making history" with his first Supreme Court nomination. Identity politics trump quality in his mind.

Member of a protected class, so the background is not looked into very closely...

Seems you don't even have to be a protected class to have your background ignored or be a gross incompetent...

The captain of a commuter plane that crashed Feb. 12 near Buffalo, N.Y., had flunked numerous flight tests during his career and ... had never been properly trained by the company to respond to a warning system designed to prevent the plane from going into a stall ... As the speed slowed to a dangerous level, setting off the stall-prevention system, he did the opposite of the proper procedure, which led to the crash, these people said.

Too bad for this he/she. It was rumored he-she-it was on the teleprompter king’s short list for the Supreme Court.

Any of the injured passengers should sue the state for placing equal-opportunity employment and gender quotas ahead of public safety.
