Everyone knows he did something stupid. Firing him would just be political correctness.
Of course, he did send it to journalists...

In correcting the incorrect statements about Mr. Steyn published Oct. 15, we incorrectly published the incorrect correction. We accept and regret that our original regrets were unacceptable and we apologize to Mr. Steyn for any distress caused by our previous apology.
Considering he sent it to a Daily Mail columnist, who will no doubt make a huge deal out of it (my prediction is tomorrows Mail headline will be something along the lines of "Treasury full of Racists"), I'd say not long.

If I had access to treasury press mailing lists I'd probably just hint at a rise in the base rate of 10% and laugh at the shit it causes.
Then resign and and work in MacDonalds for the rest of my life :/
