The thing that will end his career as a judge is that he sent it from his work computer, even if he survives making a bad decision about forwarding to six "old buddies" they will hang him for using a government computer to do it on.

From the Great Falls Tribune (Montana)
The email, with a subject line of "A MOM'S MEMORY," which was sent from Cebull's official courthouse email address at 3:42 p.m. Feb. 20, reads, in part:
"A little boy said to his mother; 'Mommy, how come I'm black and you're white?'"
"His mother replied, 'Don't even go there Barack! From what I can remember about that party, you're lucky you don't bark!'"
The judge apologized in an interview Wednesday and said that he is not racist, though he acknowledged that the content of the email was racist.

Don't see the racial component here at all. Nothing racist about it. It's an animal cruelty joke.

you always have to assume that anything you send or receive on a federal government computer is apt to be disclosed to someone other than the sender. not clear if he got caught because one of his "buddies" forwarded it with his address in the chain, or what.
but it's a funny joke, and an old one that just got Obama's name plugged into it because his situation fits the old joke so well.

The quote from the story in the Great Falls Tribune - "One of the recipients of the email Cebull sent forwarded it to another person, who in turn forwarded it to another person. The email was eventually pass along to the Great Falls Tribune, who contacted Cebull. Cebull said he was surprised the recipients of the e-mail passed it along with his name on it." Here is the link to the story in the Tribune, reading between the lines it would appear as though they broke the story. http://www.greatfallstribune.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2012120229014I would bet that he is among the unemployed pretty quickly. drover

As a Federal judge, he should be unemployed. On the job, he should be politically neutral and certainly not reflect prejudice. Even in his personal life he needs to tread carefully because it could reflect on his bench decisions.

I saw no prejudice expressed in the joke. Just a kid asking an honest question and his mother giving a frank response.

He is not racist, he just does not care for hussein. What's wrong with that?

There's absolutely nothing racist about the joke, imo. No more than this....
The magic marxist muslim mulatto was sired by a jackal. And his mama was a slut from Wichita.
So what. Facts is facts. And the joke is funny!
