Alaska Investigates Racist E-mails About Obama on State Accounts

ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- Alaska officials are investigating racist jokes about President-elect Barack Obama that have been circulating on state government e-mail accounts.

One of the five e-mails obtained by The Associated Press asks about the outcome of the Democrat's victory after all the time and money invested and concludes: "Another black family living in government housing!"

State officials were unaware of the e-mails until asked about them by the AP.

Three of the racist messages were confirmed by the state's information technology division after an electronic search of the government's e-mail system, Administration Commissioner Annette Kreitzer said Wednesday.

"It's embarrassing to the state," she said.

Kreitzer said she alerted the office of Gov. Sarah Palin -- the failed Republican vice presidential candidate -- about the e-mails.

Bet you'd find those emails on most email accounts. Alaska isn't the only state I bet where government accounts are being used to spread this crap. I see it on our business system as well (I'm in IT). Just verifies to me who are the RW'ers here.
