Don’t Think This One Is Gonna Make It To Wonkette

At the same time the Sherri Goforth hullabaloo was breaking a Democratic staffer sent an email making fun of Asians, the mentally handicapped and those suffering from dementia. Blue Collar Muse would like the media to cover this the same way the Goforth controversy was covered.

UPDATE: From Jim Voorhies:

Blue Collar Muse is correct. This is also wrong. And, having been convinced by ACK that a reprimand may be an acceptable level of punishment, if I knew this staffer’s name, I’d publish it too, and ask they be reprimanded. It’s a matter of respect and courtesy, damn it, for human beings. We’re all different in some way or another.

I do know the name — and I’m not publishing it. But when someone else does. I suppose I’ll aggregate that.

UPDATE II: The intrepid Grantham is Talking has the legislative office the email originated at. Newscoma doesn’t like to name names.

UPDATE III: Blue Collar Muse has now named the civilian.

UPDATE IV SHOCK HORROR: GIT reports that the employee is not listed as an employee of the state on the state website.

UPDATE V: UPDATE TO THE SHOCK HORROR: The staffer is an intern, according to Abramson in the comments.
