Sandy Lusk commented on R. Neal's blog post 'Typical Tennessee GOP behavior embarrasses us again'
Sherri Goforth probably would not have sent this out unless she knew this type of email was acceptable to her list of staffers. The fact that no one said anything until a blogger broke the story, then they call for a reprimand, speaks volumes. I…
