Sherrod - not sure she wants her job back.

http://www.cnn.com/2010/POLITICS/07/21/agriculture.employee.usda/index.html?hpt=T1

Asked whether she would accept her job back if the USDA offered it, she said, "You know, I'm just not so sure at this point. I really wonder, in light of how I was treated over the last two days, just what that relationship would be like for the future. Can they move beyond this?"

But she said supportive callers have told her she would be able to work for positive change if she went back.


-------------------------------------------------------------

She should be the bigger person here and not take her job back. She needs to sue the govt. for wrongful termination and sue the biggovernment website for slander. THAT is the only way positive change will come of this is exposing everyone for their lies and making them pay. Money is the only thing that talks these days.

Do try to keep up.

"The devil made me do it" is a pretty flimsy excuse.

Forgiving and moving on would make her the "bigger person". Remember the Detroit pitcher who last month had his perfect game taken away by a bad call? He acted like the "bigger person".


Suing to get as much money as she can, while certainly her right and completely understandable... does not make her the "bigger person".


If she gets a sincere apology from Vilsack... a big if.... then to be the "bigger person", she should accept it.

Per CNN this morning, once Vilsack was shown the full tape at about 7pm (and he was called by the head of the NAACP about it last night), he decided to review his original decision. He was an idiot for not listening to her to begin with but what is done is done. It is human to make mistakes and human to forgive. But as far as Breitbart and Faux are concerned, I would sue them.

...because if she doesn't they'll do it again...

doing the right thing even if that's uncomfortable and hard to do. The easiest thing for everyone involved here is to just apologize (because they got caught) and give her her job back and then we can all forget about how screwed up everything is and about how they rushed to judgement.

No....the right thing to do, being the bigger person, would be exposing EVERYONE involved and making them pay for their mistakes.

You're comparing sports with someone's reputation and being slandered and dragged through the mud. The pitcher was never offered or ever asked to have the ruling reversed, because you accept the circumstances and move on. Sherrod needs to accept the circumstances behind her forced resignation and take them to court for wrongful termination and slander. Seeking justice when a crime has been committed is being the bigger person. Not sweeping those crimes under the rug. Otherwise nobody learns squat.

a sincere apology and mea culpa...

...

has been treated..

They showed tape of her saying that she wanted her job back.

:crazy: A lawsuit is appropriate when the wrong is not made right.

even remotely concerned...I have worked in government jobs for brainless assholes similar to her situation and I would never recommend that to anyone.

Get the money, have a nice life and tell them all to fuck off.
