Smoking Gun ^ | August 2010 | Hussein and Holder's JUST US Department

“...is finding ebonics speakers who can pass a security clearance.”

My cynical little mind whispers that this is PRECISELY what’s going on....

[Vaduz]

Depends on what tribe you come from.

The Department of Justice is seeking to hire linguists to monitor, translate, and transcribe the secretly recorded conversations of subjects of narcotics investigations who are barely literate and communicate in Pidgin English.

Are they hiring for “redneck” translators?

I’m pretty good at “You might be a redneck if...”

They should just talk to Royal Marshall. He translated “Boo Got Shot” in Atlanta for the Neal Boortz show. If you never heard it, you must!

It’s an absolute classic! The first time I heard it, I laughed so hard I cried. I don’t get Boortz here, but used to listen to the replays late at night when I could pick up the AM signal out of Atlanta. I heard this the first day they did it at around 3:00 AM and laughed out loud. Good thing I was by myself.
