Well, aren’t we hilarious? Bush-era jurists are a jolly bunch.

The chief judge for one of 94 U.S. districts, the District of Montana, has apologized for a joke he circulated.

HELENA — Chief U.S. District Judge Richard Cebull on Wednesday admitted to sending a racially charged email about President Barack Obama from his courthouse chambers.

Here it is. Try not to fall out of your chair…

The forwarded text reads as follow:

“Normally I don’t send or forward a lot of these, but even by my standards, it was a bit touching. I want all of my friends to feel what I felt when I read this. Hope it touches your heart like it did mine.”

“A little boy said to his mother; ‘Mommy, how come I’m black and you’re white?’” the email joke reads. “His mother replied, ‘Don’t even go there Barack! From what I can remember about that party, you’re lucky you don’t bark!’”

Get it? The President’s deceased mother had dog-sex! Hoo. I wonder if Cebull will appreciate all the good-natured chuckles coming his way now that we know who he is, what he’s like, and how well-suited he is to the chief district judgeship. Not that this isn’t predictable behavior for W.’s minions, the paragons of high class and ‘horse’ sense.
