What Goes Around Comes Around

I've tried to refrain from getting into this whole Legislative Staffer email kerfuffle for the main reason that I think its kinda BS to scapegoat some middle-aged staffer for forwarding an email when there are plenty sitting legislators who say some fairly repugnant shit about ethnic or minority groups both in private and on the House/Senate floors.

But this is too good. Now it appears that a Memphis Nashville Conservative, Blue Collar Muse, has busted the Democrats for passing around offensive emails just as did a Republican staffer who passed around an "inappropriate" depiction of the Presidential portraits.

The "democrat" in question appears to be an intern, Blake Graves, who was recently honored by a house resolution citing him as being the "best dressed intern" and recognizing his numerous accomplishments, including "dedicat[ing] his singular skills to several student and civic organizations, including the Student Activities Council, the College Republicans, and volunteering for Hands on Memphis and Volunteer Memphis".

Yes, as an intern he was assigned to a Democrat, but it appears that his allegiances lie elsewhere.

Regardless, this whole thing is rather silly. Neither should be fired, as for Goforth, the GOP staffer, the woman has been publicly humiliated on an international stage...a pretty brutal public shaming is punishment enough for what was never intended to be a malicious act, but an act of poor taste.

Update:

It appears that the Republican Speaker has sacked this Republican intern for forwarding these rather tame pics. Its too bad really.

Update II:

After reading the guy's Facebook page, it appears he may have converted to the left side of the aisle for personal reasons. Regardless of whether he was a Democrat, Republican, Independent, or whatever, people need to lighten up a little bit.
