Thelma, a character of the Scooby Doo cartoon series always said ‘jenkies’ when she discovered a clue or had an epiphany; thus, my look at the local legend Lynn, ‘jenkies’ Jenkins.
In today's Topeka Capital Journal, Lynn 'jenkies' Jenkins tries once more to assuage those of us who must put up with her because she represents us in congress. Jenkies follows up with more remarks that are insensitive and tells us the White House has forgiven her transgression of earlier insensitivity. Follow me after the fold...
From today’s Capital Journal article,
...when she was asked about the remark after a town hall meeting in Ottawa, Jenkins also suggested it had been taken out of context.
Let's remember the context of this situation," she said. "I don't know how the president got injected into this debate."
This tells me the woman is clueless, even if she is a CPA. A title she adorns to every façade she’s ever been able to grasp or buy. She’s clueless because she said what she did on the 19th. It isn’t OK to say "Great White Hope" in any context. She shows us with the former remark that she is not a person who thinks about who she is in DC to represent. To her, it is and was about blind ambition, naked raw power held for the sake of wielding it. It has never been about serving or helping others. No, for Jenkies, it is and shall always be about her and what comes her way in return for using her status as a CPA.
Jenkies’ husband and children were discarded in a divorce one week after she won the election. Rumors of an affair circulated around various circles, but those rumors were silenced after only a few weeks of inaction here in Topeka. Seems affairs of republicans don’t get the airtime similar scandals from the democrats draw. Nothing more has ever surfaced about her dalliance.
Can she be so out-of-touch with reality that she honestly knew nothing of the racial hurt she so effortlessly threw out last week? Can a Kansas Dairy farm outside of Holton Kansas produce a woman (whose campaign for election repeatedly tells us of her virtuous upbringing on that farm) so devoid of any sense of the outside world that the bubble she grew up in didn’t have any history of race or the struggles of the underprivileged? I don’t think so, even as a white man of bohemian decent, I knew the insult immediately.
