Hello, clown! What historically racist but now somewhat common although still racist thing did you say at a town hall? “U.S. Rep. Lynn Jenkins offered encouragement to conservatives at a town hall forum that the Republican Party would embrace a ‘great white hope’ capable of thwarting the political agenda endorsed by Democrats who control Congress and President Barack Obama.” But what’s funnier is that she suggested this “great white hope” should be Eric Cantor, a known dandy.

SAVE US GLENN BECK!!!
Jesus H. W. Christ.
In a political party filled mainly with lesser white hopes, a fair-to-middlin’ white hope seems about all a republican could realistically wish for.
Yes, it’s about time the Republicans reached to a white person for a change. Someone like our Hopey, but with less b-l-a-k.
This was not at all predictable.
Also, the racist fucktard who was the great white hope had his ass handed to him by the black man. Suck on it, GOP.
[re=396533]stratonike[/re]: nope. after last night, it’s very clear glenn is on the express train to crazy town. He won’t be helping anyone for a while.
She must be tanning buddies with John Boehner. Look at that healthy, natural skin tone.
No, she meant ‘Great White Whale’ to oppose Arab, I mean Ahap.
If I tilt the screen on my laptop just so..the Lady Congressperson looks as if she could easily be an Octoroon.
[re=396544]Dave J.[/re]: Oh snap
No, she meant ‘Great White Whale’ to oppose Arab, I mean, Ahab.
You don’t understand. Cantor coulda had class. Cantor coulda been a contender. Cantor coulda been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what he is, let’s face it. It was you, Lynn.
Hmm, based on that photo… is she a Warren G. Harding descendant?
Huh. When did one of the muppets from the Dark Crystal get elected?
A party of The Olds and The Fats naturally needs a Great White Hope. USA USA USA!
As the sole Jewish Republican senator, Eric Cantor is actually the GOP’s “Great Kike Hope”.
I’m taking bets on the “n-word” making its appearance in American political discourse. The present over/under is six weeks from today.
Jenkins identif[ied] three members of the U.S. House — Cantor, Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., and Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis. — as future movers and shakers in the GOP. All are white, as is Jenkins.
Gad, what a gaff; even Repubs are appalled. She should have said, two great white hopes and little Mister Jew-boy, here.
Michael Stephen Steele needs to invite her down to hip-hop ville. Broaden her horizons.
What’s that old canard? If it steps like a goose…something like that.
Hey, at least they’re being honest about this particular issue (the issue being blatant racism and hatred and, hey, why not, being total fucking douchetards).
Oh, and, um, by the way, motherfuckers? The “Great White Hope” fucking lost, dog.
And I quote!
_____________
The fight, which was promoted and refereed by legendary fight promoter Tex Rickard, and became known as “The Fight of the Century”, soon became a symbolic battleground of the races. The media, eager for a “Great White Hope”, found a champion for their racism in Jeffries. He said, “I am going into this fight for the sole purpose of proving that a white man is better than a Negro.”[1] A furor was created at the fight, as a ringside band played, “All coons look alike to me”.[2]
The fight was stopped after the 15th round when Jeffries’ corner threw in the towel. Jeffries made no excuses at the time. After the bout Jeffries acknowledged, however, that not even in his prime could he have defeated Johnson[3]
Jess Willard??
They could start by rebranding with a simple name change, like some of our favorite corporations do when they’ve had “problems.” Instead of Republican Party, just call it the Obese White People Only Party (OWPOP). The logo could have a picture of a water fountain or a bus with an X on it. It’s historical. But hey, I kid the Republicans. Some of my best friends are Republican.
[re=396544]Dave J.[/re]: She must be tanning buddies with John Boehner.
The Great Orange Hope?
That could take care of the “who do we run against Eric” problem, known locally as “cast all (four?) virgins into the volcano.”
Cantor/Reagan’s Mummy, 2012.
Dear Rep. Lynn Jenkins
Once you black , you never go back.
Yours truly,
TWJ
[re=396549]hopebong[/re]: I think she actually meant some “great white dope.” Their good package has run out, and the stepped-on shit they’ve been subsisting on has made them unfocused and, frankly, impotent.
[re=396560]Extemporanus[/re]: Please disregard that inadvertent promotion Cantor to senator. All those Jewish Republican politicians look alike to me.
Who’s her photographer ? Chris Cunningham ?
[re=396564]x111e7thst[/re]: She only said they need a Great White Hope because they already have Michael Steele as the Great non-White Hope.
And Bobby Jindal is the Great Mocha Latte Hope.
Finally, they have John Boehner, the Great Orange Hope.
They’re on their way to having lots of the rainbow covered. Good news for Log Cabin Republicans.
Democrats control President Obama? I never would have voted for him, had I known that!
[re=396540]sezme[/re]: But Hopey IS white!! At least, some of him is. Huh?!? HUH?!?
[re=396561]mardam422[/re]: she uses it she will say “she had no intention of expressing herself in an offensive manner” because you know, she heard one of “them” say it. How is it that people who are so incredibly stupid get elected to office? Of course, it is Kansas after all.
Come on, Eric! Are you an Americantor an American?!
Sorry.
[re=396576]Extemporanus[/re]: He is the only one left-no other GOP Jews in congress(unless you count Lieberman as GOP). We are thinking about pronouncing a Cherem(that is excommunication for you non Hebrew speakers) on GOP Jews.
Intercourse logisticians take note, no one has opined “I’d hit it.”
so, is she referring to her teeth? did she eat the great white hope? gawd, my eyes!
[re=396561]mardam422[/re]: It is my theory that this is why they made Steele chairman of the party. As a black man, he would be allowed to call Obama the N-word.
[re=396561]mardam422[/re]: is Intrade carrying that? How about Vegas bookies? I want some of that action.
Barack Obama = Muhammad Ali
Eric Cantor = Jerry Quarry
That is all.
There are so many things wrong with that woman’s face, I’m not sure where to start.
Fortunately for her face, ObamaCare will require mandatory nose jobs.
Few times in American history are we emboldened to say such things of lunacy as being an elected official calling for the embraceable arrival of an incredibly strong white person. BUT IT ISN’T RACIST, YOU SEE. Michael Steele is in charge now. RACISM OVER.
Eric Cantor is the only Repub who can get away with saying “Obama wants to jew you out of your health insurance.”
All I can think of when I see that face is “I go coo-coo for Cocoa Puffs!!!!”
I know, it makes no sense. It’s all I got.
Nah, she meant ‘Great White Dope’, obvs.
She didn’t really mean Great White Hope in any racist sense. What she meant to say the Republicans needed was a Bwana.
GUYS “WHITE” HAS BECOME A COMMON IDIOM IN AMERICAN CULTURE AND DOESN’T NECESSARILY HAVE ANY RACIAL CONNOTATIONS.
[re=396591]finallyhappy[/re]: Yeah, that was kind of my botched bris of a point.
Vis-à-vis Specter, your threatened Cherem appears already to be working. Yishar koach!
[re=396551]TJBeck[/re]: I’m thinking Sandra Bernhard.
[re=396594]DoctorCulturae[/re]: I’d hit her, is that close enough?
Raging Bullshit
What the fuck is going on with her jaw?
The last time anyone was called the “Great White Hope” was “Hurricane” Peter McNeely. It didn’t end well… McNeeley was disqualified after his manager Vinnie Vecchione threw in a towel to stop his fighter from taking any more punishment after the second knockdown.
But it lead to this famous quote: “Keep laughing, keep laughing. Real funny, hah? If any one of you doesn’t respect me, or what I’m doing or what I’ve been doing for the last three months since it was been announced, going against a guy like this, you have a big dump in your pants.”
[re=396580]bfstevie[/re]: You forgot John Ensign, the Great Silver Hope.
Extemporanus +1
Given the GOP’s all-around lameness, I would’ve thought their best hope would be a “dark horse” candidate. But I guess that’s non-starter…
Lynn Jenkins will never be white enough for the new GOP.
She can haz de moran skills, however.
[re=396560]Extemporanus[/re]: Cantor, a Jew, as the GOP’s Great White Hope — How ironic is that?!
[re=396586]finallyhappy[/re]: I’ve been to KS ( inlaws, sigh) and they actually subscribe to a periodical that is put out by Rush …..
They leave it in the bathroom for reading material while waiting for the uh, waiting to … uh not sure now that I think about it. Waiting for the bm or are they polishing their rocket.
Dang, now I need to brush my teeth with soap and get an enema.
She looks like a real estate agent with a microphone. Her pin (not included in photo) says, “Ask Me About The First-Time Home Buyer Tax Credit!”
[re=396626]rev_matt_y[/re]: I would, too. With a baseball bat.
Nancy Reagan had one of those moments, when she was making a speech and said, “Oh, it’s so wonderful to look out on all your smiling white faces.”
[re=396609]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: Ah, so we’re in a Washington Postracist era?
The GOP is truly a big tent – in which they have an enormous carnival freak show.
It’s the eyes, she has crazy-eyes.
[re=396580]bfstevie[/re]: Every single color, every walk of life
In & out changin’, every day and night
From the golden shores of Kansas…
Damn that Gene Ween!
[re=396629]ManchuCandidate[/re]: I think she’s one of those creatures from the tv series ‘V’.
She’s confused because in the movie “The Great White Hope,” the hero was obvisouly James Earl Jones; she thought that the whole “it’s titled ‘Great White Hope’ but the hero is black” thing was just some hippy screen writer being clever.
BTW, if Obama wants to win the health care debate, all he has to do is go on Oprah and then have Morgan Freeman narrate the commercials (when he says “Visa” on TV, I reflexively run out to the mall).
[re=396622]mcc[/re]: Are you familiar with the James Earl Jones movie of the same name? And please turn off the cap lock button.
As a (mostly) white person, I reserve the right to judge who is white and who is not. Her nose — too wide. Skin tone — high yellow. Hair — obviously straightened and colored. Do ALL Republicans hate themselves and try to hide what they really are?
I think she has the same opthamologist as Michelle Bachmann.
>>a known dandy
That word always makes me think of this:
http://www.theonion.com/content/node/30424
the accompanying illustration of which looks like it might be Rush and Cantor right before they make sexy-time together.
Good Lord: Is that growth in the middle of her face supposed to be her NOSE?
(Speaking of fighters: She could trade snozzels with the Immortal Randall “Tex” Cobb.)
The headline is what gets me: Eyebrows Elevate Before Being Lowered again at more Terrifying Racists Uttering in GOP.
It’s like the 2002 Trent Lott-Strom Thurmond-Washington Post “page A-6″ scenario all over again.
“Oh, yea, btw America, 99% GOP leadership is actively seeking to re-enslave Black and brown people. Now, back to taking all their arguments at face value.”
According to the Wikipedia, “she served as president of the National Association of State Treasurers (NAST).” And the adjective for the noun NAST is…?
[re=396645]New Wave Phlebotomist[/re]: This moved me to tears. I’m having the lyrics tattooed on my ass.
[re=396622]mcc[/re]: ‘Specially the half that is in Obama.
Rep Jenkins stole Sandra Bernhard’s nose. And maybe her chin.
Stay classy, pretty lady.
[re=396658]Neilist[/re]: Was he not in Raising Arizona?
sometimes i think see a story on wonkette and i think to myself “oh those silly snarky people, look at them exaggerating again”. and then i read the story. and nothing was made up. and then i cry.
I have to quit wonketting so I’m not reading the comments, unless someone can answer this for me: What is it about Republicrans and their fucking tanning beds? Do they all want to look like John Boner? Is he trying to look like Crist? Who started this? WNY ARE THEY ALL TURNING ORANGE?
Maybe melanoma will take them all out and we can finally get health care reform.
That phrase didn’t rise unbidden from her subconscious because she’s a big fan of Jane Alexander and James Earl Jones. Just sayin’.
[re=396544]Dave J.[/re]: Shit. I did read the comments, after I asked my orange question. And you got to it first.
Microphones are like dicks. The one she’s holding has a rather big head.
“I suspect some miscegenation in the blood line…”
[re=396544]Dave J.[/re]: The skin tone of Boehner and the crazy eyes of Michelle Bachmann. The GOP has built the perfect beast!
[re=396576]Extemporanus[/re]: Dixie Jew!
[re=396684]DustBowlBlues[/re]: so they can spot each other more easily. it’s their gang sign, but easier to remember.
Ay, me duele! This is her official portrait: http://lynnjenkins.house.gov/uploads/Official_Photo.JPG. Too many rounds of foxy boxing in Topeka.
[re=396610]AbstinenceOnly Ed[/re]: This makes me feel better about the fact I’m still wasting time on wonkette. Very excellent.
Hey, I’d hit i- EEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWW. Okay, I guess not then.
The spirit is willing but the flesh is terrified.
Maybe thats just a bad picture of who ever that is.
[re=396547]Limeylizzie[/re]: She looks high yellow to me!
[re=396622]mcc[/re]: On the contrary, almost everything cultural still has racial connotations in America. But that’s “mighty white of you” to say otherwise, podner!
“Your daughter will have a nose like a casaba melon until someone comes up to her and tells her, ‘You have a nose like a casaba melon.’ …”
[re=396626]rev_matt_y[/re]: TKO
Great white hope? WTF, the GOP is now the Sickle Cell Party.
That pic almost makes me have pity on her, except it reminds of a shark bearing its teeth just before the big snag. Bad dreams tonight.
Her funny orange color reminds me of my high school reunion. The spouse said, ‘I didn’t realize there was such a big hispanic population in this part of the midwest – your class was a lot more diverse than you suggested.’ When I pointed out that all those wrinkly people were, in fact, meant to be lily-white, he just looked sad.
Jack Johnson beat the crap out of a succession of GW Hopies. But he was born in Texas, not Indokenya, and really liked the white ladies.
[re=396580]bfstevie[/re]: Finally, they have John Boehner, the Great Orange Hope.
I avoided a coffee spit-take, but only with heroic effort.
This is just her strategy of raising up the wattage for hate fuck purposes.
Oh man, once Kansans find out she endorsed a Jew, she’s done as a Republican.
[re=396586]finallyhappy[/re]: And now, in defense of Kansas, she did beat a Democrat (who now works for Hopey’s Defense Dept.) who’d beaten a crazy right-winger. So there’s a chance she might actually suffer electorally at some point…if someone can find an opponent for her…which she’s now made a bit easier. And for the record, as someone who was raised in the rich suburbs of eastern Kansas (JoCo reprazent!), I went to a lot more bar mitzvahs than confirmations. But um, yeah, no black people.
Perhaps she will share some of her bronzer and self-tanner with her white hope so he isn’t so pasty and pale.
[re=396554]god.was.stingy[/re]: YES!! Thank you…it’s Dark Crystal Muppet Sandra Bernhard.
Maybe Rocky Marciano?
Hey, that is my Congresswoman! Now I get to feel like a Michelle Bachman constituent.
[re=396748]Schmegeg[/re]: And they passed the Mann Act to make him quit it with the white ladies, didn’t they?
[re=396710]Que miras, cabron![/re]: Is that a smile or a snarl?
[re=396597]slappypaddy[/re]: And her nose! Did she have her nose replaced by a orange peen???
Wow, the only “natural” looking thing about her IS her nose.
The republican party’s official symbol is now the creamsicle, orange on the outside, white on the inside.
Hey! I thought all the congressy people had college educations and such…if so how come they don’t speak too good and say things so dumb as this? Did they miss the seminar on common sense and diversity training???
Remember the little known movie the “Great White Hype”? Hopefully Rep Lynn saw the part where the reigning world champions, fat, out of shape, and bored; Knocked the crap out of the great white hype with one punch.
Sometimes, I wish Michelle Obama were a tall blonde with peachy, porcelain skin. Nothing against the First Lady, you understand…I just think that would make it all a bit more fun.
Instead of flag lapel pins they need to start wearing little burning crosses or KKK hoods. They’re not fooling anyone with their ‘apologies.’ They are stone cold racists and they’re dangerous assholes.
Jess Willard, the Great White Hope (who actually beat Jack Johnson), was FROM HER DISTRICT!
It’s weird but the people most against a black man are actually of the same orange complexions as this lady. She’s obviously one of those white people who seek to become as tanned and dark as possible, seeing no irony in the fact that she hates dark people, or that white skin with too much tanning looks like old leather and will give you the cancers.
[re=396710]Que miras, cabron![/re]: Looks like she’s trying to pinch a loaf.
Is she leaning foward from the weight of her nose pulling her down?
[re=396597]slappypaddy[/re]: No, those are the Great White Chiclets.
[re=396622]mcc[/re]: Methinks thou dost PROTEST TOO MUCH.
There’s no way this woman knew enough about Old Timey Boxing racism to be using this in context.
It’s so innocently dimwitted, it’s almost quaint.
http://marmel.com/2009/08/i-miss-innocent-stupid/
[re=396755]assistant/atlas[/re]: JoCo Jews in the hizzy! I did a 10-year sentence there during my tween/teen years. The whole state is white, Right and uptight. Given that, it does seem possible that this Jenkins is just. utterly. clueless.
[re=397002]Marmel[/re]: Every time these fuckers get caught saying something inexcusable they claim it was taken out of context. Unless the context is quoting it as an example of a condemnable thing to say the context is not really going to help. I am waiting for Samford to explain that, “my opponents are taking the fact that I lied about my whereabouts so that I could sneak out of the country and shtup some Argentinean chick completely out of context.”
If my dog was that ugly I’d shave his ass and make him walk backwards.
[re=397002]Marmel[/re]: It isn’t racist because she’s too dumb to understand what the phrase really means?
Except the phrase only has one meaning.
What next? “Congressman Smith insists his true meaning was taken out of context when he said, ‘Pres. Obama is a dumb nigger who deserves to be shot and sent back to Africa with the other spear-chucking sub-humans.’” Because that’s about almost where we’re at.
I wonder how much she was paid to ensure the names she mentions as “great white hopes” now don’t have a “hope in hell” of getting any support. Odd she doesnt look all that white to me except her teeth – even odder she would say something like that. She definetly looks to me anyway like she is of mixed heritage – usually mixed heritage persons are careful not to make racist remarks. If she is native american – there is a white spirit bear that is a great white hope to native persons – perhaps that is what she meant. I think she was paid off personally, that is a hug gaffaw to make even by accident.
Her face is like the Mona Lisa’s; its eyes follow you; they follow you everywhere. **shudders**
As they joked on SNL earlier in the decade, Kansas is still burning witches, so this little gaff — and by ‘gaff’ I mean totally intentional — is par for the course in witch-burning Kansas. What will get her in trouble with his Kansas consituency, however, is that she spoke kindly of a Jew. That will be there breaking point. If she wants to keep her seat, she better get go on an anti-Semitic tirade before it’s too late.
The Republican party is full of Great White Dopes, from Palin to Steele to Romney to Kenneth the Gov-LA.
My God, but she looks like Paul Lynde with a Lil Lotta hairdo.
she looks like an arab
