I realize I’m a little late posting, but reporting on the budget progress (or lack thereof) kept me busy all day. I did want to put Sherri Goforth’s statement regarding the email on the blog, because based on the number of blog hits today, there is a lot of interest in this story. Here’s what she had to say:
“I want to offer my deepest apology regarding the offensive nature of the email forwarded to several of my colleagues. I want to make it clear that it was forwarded to me from an acquaintance with absolutely no political party ties and who is outside the Tennessee Capitol Hill arena. I should have deleted it upon receipt. Again, I am deeply sorry and offer a sincere apology to anyone I offended.”
The story has gone national. Sen. Diane Black was on CNN this afternoon because of the email brouhaha.
