Lynn Jenkins is a freshman Republican Congresswoman from southeast Kansas. She is quickly proving herself to be a political doofus on the order of Michelle Bachmann of Minnesota.
Congresswoman Jenkins apparently told a group of supporters that her party is struggling to find a "great white hope" to lead them back to power. When she was challenged on the racist tone of her statement, she replied that she was not aware that the phrase "great white hope" had a negative connotation. Really.
I wonder what she thought it meant?
Rex Rammell, a Republican candidate for governor of Idaho recently told a group of supporters that he would buy a special tag to "hunt" Obama. Later he said that he couldn't understand what all of the fuss was about. He was, after all, just joking. His remark was probably a real knee-slapper in Idaho!
And Republicans wonder why they can't win the support of minorities. Pandering to old white people and demeaning everyone else sounds like a plan. I hope they stick with it!
Palin - Jenkins 2012!
