“When those individuals looked at Obama’s passport last Spring, they were fired the same day.”
Obama is a black demonRAT politician, therefor it was automatically three strikes.

Since when do govt. employees have to update their resumes once they get hired?

[JavaJumpy]

“I wonder if there are any legal scholars around who can give an opinion of Joe’s prospects for success in court.”

Yhello! Calling Mark Levin.........

[SkyDancer]

It was a feeble attempt at humor ... ever see “Good Morning Vietnam”? ....

I failed to find it, but I assume those are suspensions without pay; Otherwise, they are being rewarded.
Which would make more sense for public employees...

[Publius6961]

Suspended? When those individuals looked at Obama's passport last Spring, they were fired the same day.

Seems that those were Contract Employees, not necessarily Dumbocrat voters, aka "public employees" forever...

So Fired!

There’s a pipeline from the state agencies to the liberals in the MSM. They work hand in glove. I wonder why that’s not part of this story?

[Don Carlos]

Agree with all you say. Joe has a case, and if he has a good lawyer the money the state will have to pay will be only the tip of the iceberg. There will be new rules promolgated, pertinent laws and possible punishments reaffirmed, guidance in the form of innumerable briefings to make sure the underlings understand to the nth degree, and a lot of senior management CYA against any future incidents.

From what I've seen of Joe, he is a man of principle who would be much more satisfied with correcting a wrong than counting the reward.

FReegards, and glad you quit lurking and joined up!

he thing is that they didn’t do it just for grins. They did it for someone to use against Joe the plumber. Who was calling in the favor and asking them to do it?

That is what I want to know.

[Munz]

No one can be covered by insurance for malfeasance or acting under color of their title if their actions are illegal.

They can be sued personally for this and they should be.

the state on the other hand has taken action against them so the state is covered and would not be “as” responsible as the individuals.

Thanks Don...happy to be here!!!!

“The director had been placed on paid-leave on Nov. 7 after e-mails requested by The Dispatch revealed she had used her state e-mail account to help raise campaign funds for President-Elect Obama.”

There’s your scapegoat, Jones-Kelly...but who called in the “Demand” that Joe be scrubbed came from the highest levels of Stalag Zero...

[IrishPennant]

Thanks Don...happy to be here!!!!

Don...disregard my last - I should have said “Privileged to BE Here”

Yet Verizon employees are FIRED after looking at BHO’s phone record......

[KeyLargo]

“Well the suspension won’t look good on their resumes.”

Are you kidding!

What these creeps have done is a badge of honor in the government (DemoRAT) sector and will lead to great job opportunities in the B.O. administration.

[SkyDancer]

It was my feeble attempt at humor. Like out of the scene in “Good Morning Vietnam” .....

[Munz]

“There’s your scapegoat, Jones-Kelly...but who called in the “Demand” that Joe be scrubbed came from the highest levels of Stalag Zero...””

Agreed that Jones Kelly is the sacrificial lamb, but who was Jones reporting to specifically? THAT is the person I want exposed.
