Kansas Jackass: Jenkins Smacked on Daily Kos

Jenkins Smacked on Daily Kos

God, I just love it when my Member of Congress becomes the national poser child of Republican ridiculousness.

From the front page of Daily Kos:

What happens when you're supposedly anti-tax, anti-government waste, pro-business and dead set on opposing all things Democratic, but you've also sworn fealty to a freelancing radio yukster with a big audience, but zero responsibility?

You end up saying dumb shit like this:

"The 165 million in bonuses AIG recently made must be recaptured. As the primary, unwilling investors, the American taxpayers deserve to know how and when they will be repaid, and given assurance that their dollars will not be squandered any further. The legislation voted on today will not recapture 100% of taxpayers' money, and it sets a dangerous precedent for punishing individuals by taxing past behavior deemed inappropriate."

Rep. Lynn Jenkins (R-KS-02)

The Republican brain can't handle this, obviously. It's an unfortunate mental malfunction for Congresswoman Jenkins that she opted to try to shoehorn both arguments -- obviously contradictory arguments -- into one speech. But it's indicative of the short-circuiting of the Republican mind. You can't reconcile being anti-Obama, anti-Democrat, anti-bailout, pro-business, anti-tax and pro-Limbaugh and still make an f-ing lick of sense.

SHOCKER: Jenkins, Tiahrt Vote Against Recovering Bonus from AIG

Never not amazed by how fundamentally out-of-touch the Republican Party is today.

From the Kansas Democratic Party:

Kansas Republicans Todd Tiahrt and Lynn Jenkins voted against recovering taxpayer funds used to award $165 million in bonuses for AIG employees.

The measure passed the house 328-93.

Yesterday, Rep. Lynn Jenkins said, "We need to focus on repaying the taxpayers." But when the time came to 'walk the walk,' Jenkins turned her back on taxpayers to help greedy Wall Street executives.
