2. Shirley Sherrod declines USDA job
Shirley Sherrod declines USDA job
Updated: 10:20 a.m.

Ousted Agriculture Department official Shirley Sherrod said Tuesday that she will not return to the department in the new role.

"I need to take a break from some of all I've had to deal with in the last few weeks," Sherrod said at a hastily arranged news conference at USDA headquarters.
She said she hopes to maintain "some kind of relationship" with the department.

Sherrod met Tuesday at USDA headquarters in Washington with Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, who first hinted last week that they would soon meet.

"I think I can be helpful to him if I just take a little break and can be more helpful in the future," she said.

"You made me pull over to the side of the road so you could fire me because of Andrew Breitbart and Glenn Beck?
As per the job, I think not. See ya but I wouldn't want to be ya."

6. "pulled over to the side of the road"
I'm so grateful to Sherrod for sharing that detail of her firing, exposing how big a schmuck Vilsack is.

8. I hope she stomps holy hell out of Breitbart
I hope this really is about her focusing on takinh Breitbart to court and reducing him to holding a sign saying "Will Blog For Food".
