Cynthia McKinney is having a hard time making the race card a winning hand right now. But you need to make it more of a last card in the hole -- she came right out playing it and that's harder.

Cervical Ridiculitis. That's really good.

Watch mah results.

Is it possible that CBS promoted the complainant beyond her ability level just because of her color/gender, just because they wanted to appear diverse and it backfired on them? Is there some gaping irony here?

[Chasaway]

If she doesn't have one, she needs one of these:

A racist incompetent against a lying liberal organization that forges documents to make news?

Awesome.

No matter which one loses this battle, we win.

I love it when liberal policy turns around bites liberals on the a$$.

Woman Drops the "R" Bomb On CBS

Oh...my...Gawd!

Somebody at CBS is a Republican?!!

[printhead]

I have two words for her; "cervical ridiculitis"?

[Jeannie Nelson]

Even though no DNA of Mr Schieffer was found in or on Raylena Fields, she will still go forward with her charges.

"There is not one single African American person holding a rank above producer on any of CBS' eight separate broadcasts,"

Easily solved. Quotas.

...but many would lie...

Ever hear of "at will" employment? The expectations of the company were set at this interview. No one was excused from doing what was necessary or beneficial to the company because of job description.

Obviously there are times when high level people are needed for things other than making coffee, but the principle stands.

An African American producer who had been at CBS News for 13 years is attributing her March termination to racial discrimination, noting that "not one of CBS News' eight broadcasts is in any way directed, influenced, or shaped by an African American or any minority holding a senior position on that broadcast.

Let me get this straight - she was there for 13 years, and she is just now getting terminated because she's black?

And why would she care if not one black is involved in senior positions there? Seems to me CBS is doing a pretty good job of towing the liberal line without any additional help.

[Flavius Josephus]

Right. The only reason anybody SHOULDN'T make coffee or answer phones should be based on comparative advantage -- they can be performing a function at that time that is more valuable to the company. No one should think they're TOO GOOD to answer the phone, because that's the attitude that rots companys from the head on down.

If everbody has to take a turn answering the phone so that that lesson isn't lost, that might be a highly valuable use of their time.

Cervical Ridiculitis

HMMM...Sounds like a Harry Potter curse.......

sorry if its a double post :)

[wildbill]

Cervical Ridiculitis? Is that anything like ridiculous...er...nevermind.

[stainlessbanner]

hard to sympathize with anyone making 200k/yr

[Enterprise]

But you just don't understand. They wanted her to answer the phones! That poor woman! How degrading!

[colorado tanker]

Man, just reading her side of the story makes her sound like really, really bad news.

Nice to see race-baiting SeeBS get bitten by a race card playing affirmative action hire.
