Ms. Sherrod, Is NOT a "Poor Farmer."

Well, well.

As for Sherrod's role in the case, the farm cooperative owned by her and her husband was awarded a $13 million settlement last year, shortly before she was appointed to her post at the USDA. In addition, each of the Sherrods was paid over $150,000 for their "pain and suffering" - more than triple what was given to any other farmer, total.

There may be more to her dismissal than just some silly speech.
