Sherri Goforth, legislative aid for Sen. Diane Black (R-TN) sent the above photo in which President Obama is depicted as a pair of white eyeballs against a jet black background and has been reprimanded for it.
This is the latest in a series of (no pun intended) black eyes the Republican leadership in Tennessee have taken recently. The Newscoma blog has an interesting post on the incident.

I spoke with Sherri Goforth minutes ago to confirm she sent this email. She confirmed she had sent it and also said she had received a letter of reprimand from her superiors but said she will stay on the job.
When I asked her if she understood the controversial nature of the photo, Goforth would only say she felt very bad about accidentally sending it to the wrong list. When I gave her a second chance to address the controversial nature of the email, she again repeated that she only felt bad about sending it to the wrong list of people.
“I went on the wrong email and I inadvertently hit the wrong button,” Goforth told NIT. “I’m very sick about it, and it’s one of those things I can’t change or take back.”
