...Congrats to Pat lykos(R) the new Harris CO. DA , I hope she's not another (racist bonehead) Chucky. Although I didn't vote for her, I hope she does right by our citizens and do a good job

I am very excited about her. She is not a racist bonehead, though I don't think Chuck Rosenthal was either.

I mean, my God, if I had a nickel for every stupid email I get from random people with moronic pics and jokes...

As an attorney who knew Chuck and people who worked closely with him, I can assure you he was racist.

You should ignore people who send ignorant emails that spread hate and stereotypes like that. Or at least tell them it's not acceptable. Decent people have an obligation to stand up against that kind of crap.

Wow, why don't we just stop laughing altogether?

Definition of racist has gotten pretty loose, but I have to agree with USC and txguy. Also, those emails were coming from Kelly Siegler's husband, not some random yay-hoo. When Dr. Siegler was pressed about it, his quote was something to the effect of "The emails were sent privately with no intention of offending anyone." This is about par for a doctor: Probably a very smart guy but borderline retarded when it comes to diplomatically answering pregnant questions. Implicit in his answer is "I knew Chuck Rosenthal wouldn't be offended by these emails." While this is a completely boneheaded response on the part of Dr. Siegler, boneheaded responses are usually honest.
