DailyKos reports:
"Earlier [yesterday], a legislative staffer forwarded well-known West Tennessee blogger Newscoma apicture they had been sent from another staffer. It's supposed to bean 'historical keepsake photo' of the Presidents. But no picture ofPresident Obama–instead, just a 'spook.' Because, haha, in addition to being another word for a ghost, 'spook' is also a racial slur against African-Americans! Funny! Not. The staffer who originally sent around the picture has now been revealed to be Sherri Goforth, an executive assistant for Republican State Senator Diane Blackof Gallatin (a suburb of Nashville). When contacted by Nashville IsTalking/WKRN Channel 2 (our ABC affiliate) blogger Christian Grantham,not only did Goforth refuse to apologize,all she could do was claim that she had simply sent it "from the wrongemail address. In other words, not sorry that she sent out a blatantlyracist email, only sorry that she got caught."
