Controversial Halloween pictures released.
In November, Julie Myers, head of Homeland Security’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement division, came under fire for “awarding ‘most original costume’ to a Homeland Security Department employee who dressed in prison stripes, dreadlocks and dark makeup for a Halloween gathering at the agency.” A look at some of the offensive photos, which ICE had originally said were destroyed:
The employee in the prison costume had been “dressed in this costume during his entire shift at work all day.”

That’s original? These people not only have no sense of irony or sarcasm, but they lack any semblance of creativeness or originality. Or propriety.
February 7th, 2008 at 11:54 amWell, given that the employee is a Republican, perhaps the prison stripes were a “just seeing what it would feel like” kind of thing.
Y’know, like Troll John Kerry with his mom’s underwear.
February 7th, 2008 at 11:54 amFunny, all those party-goers look the same to me.
For the humor challenged, it’s a joke about the covered faces…

“hating”?
you’re funny.
February 7th, 2008 at 12:02 pmGood God. He probably went around talking in an annoyingly bad Jamaican accent all day too. And I thought they said he wasn’t in black face?

Visit Rush, Coulter, Buchanan, Hannity, etc., to see the “hating” of McCain.

February 7th, 2008 at 12:13 pmThat Julie seems to have the sense of humor of a rock.
February 7th, 2008 at 12:15 pmi here there may have been music at this very same party.
DAMN those bastards!!!!!!!!
February 7th, 2008 at 12:17 pmWhy do trolls like that poor little silly c**t try to make it seem like a thread like this is “all you got” when there have been several other stories posted already, and here on the west coast it’s only 9:17?
Oh, that’s right — because the silly little c**t is kind of sad and pathetic and has to scramble for petty sh!t with which to criticize TP.
February 7th, 2008 at 12:18 pmdingyharry reid should mount the mother of all investagations. the country deserves the right to know!
February 7th, 2008 at 12:19 pmCt, you’ve got a “ready wit.” Let us know when it’s ready.

Mr.P, may I suggest that you not quit your day job. I have a feeling that the comedy circuit is quite safe from your “wit”.
February 7th, 2008 at 12:21 pmBut again, thanks for showing your true, racists colours!!!
i here there may have been music…
Comment by ct — February 7, 2008 @ 12:17 pm
fixed it for you:
i hear there may have been music…
(relax, the nurse will be in soon with your jelloâ„¢.)
February 7th, 2008 at 12:23 pmWhy does the silly c**t have to try out its comedy material here BEFORE Open Mike Night?
Yeah, C**t, you’re very funny. You’ll do fine in front of a live nightclub crowd. Don’t be nervous, just get up there. You can be a star!
February 7th, 2008 at 12:26 pmWhy didn’t the guy in the chimp costume wearing a crown win?
February 7th, 2008 at 12:29 pmWell doesn’t the media in this country have anything better to do than do stories about costumes on a freakin Halloween party done by some govt department??? Shows the bankruptcy of the editorial hallways around here i guess. Start asking the right questions journalists. give us something more decent than this.
The joke’s on the media! And you know who else!?

US!! Who are wasting time talking about it!!!
February 7th, 2008 at 2:15 pmI think it’s funny how white folks pretend to be shocked that white folks do this sort of thing.
February 7th, 2008 at 5:54 pmThis is so lame.
February 7th, 2008 at 7:13 pmDemocrats always like to make the mess even messier for themselves. Why did the pictures need to be seen before rejecting Miers? They could have taken a quick look at her “experience” and sent her packing…or they could have read the newspaper that reported this story the week after Halloween. I’m so tired of this ‘let’s fix the bill after it’s been approved’ approach.
