What is wrong with these people? I caught something on The View this morning about an assistant sending out a racist picture via e-mail and it got into the wrong hands, so to speak. Didn't catch who it was though.
I am sure Liz will be getting all kinds of emails and calls now that this is out....
I wouldn't be surprised if she were relocated to some other position.

I'd call her Lizard, just to see her head explode.
This is a link to the racist email you're referring to ungageg:
The aid sent the email to the wrong list (as of that's an excuse). No action was taken except a reprimand.

Keith Olberman did a dramatic reenactment of this last night. It was pretty sweet. I am surprised "Liz" has a job today. She is obviously mentally ill. Do you think she posts here?

Totally crazy. I DO think it's unbelievably obnoxious to call someone a variation of their name if they haven't indicated to otherwise call them that, but that can usually be rectified with a "please call me ____, not _____."
I knew a guy in college named Tim who would go apoplectic if you called him Timmy. I always wondered what was at the root of that.
She's never going to be called anything but Liz from now on.
For pure entertainment, I agree, Kevvy -- Olberman was over the top hilarious last night!

PLEASE DON'T CALL ME KEVY! WHO TOLD YOU TO CALL ME THAT? THEY ARE NOT YOUR FRIEND.
I just sent her an email referring to her as C*nty McBeeyotch.
Am patiently awaiting a response.
Ok, that was all kinds of crazy, but when Liz wrote:
Quit apologizing and never call me anything but Elizabeth again. Also, make sure you correct anyone who attempts to call me by any other name but Elizabeth. Are we clear on this? Like I said, it's a hot button for me.
And please don't call the office and not leave a message. My colleague told me you called while I was away at the Ladies' room. I do sometimes leave my desk.
That is when Liz became the C-word. I would tell Liz that a "hot button" for me is being ordered around by a stanky snatch with a superiority complex and ask Liz if "we are clear on this". Then I would have my boss call Liz's boss and request that in the future, we use another contact to avoid time-consuming irrelevant confrontations. And of course, be sure to tell everyone I know to call her Liz, especially assistants to all VIPs relevant to McDermott.
Sounds like someone got some coaching from Sara Ramirez.
