Edward Moore Kennedy, the Liberal Lion Of The Senate has succumbed to a year long battle with brain cancer. In the midst of mourning his loss, we remember his remarkable political career and life. Rest well Teddy, you've earned it. Time for you to join John, Bobby, Martin and Coretta.
But there will be no rest for the fool or fools we expose on a weekly basis.
As our Shut Up Fool! Awards mascot constantly reminds us, fools are everywhere.
And to think when I started this feature I was worried I wouldn't have enough of them to give out a weekly award.
While there were many worthy contenders as always including the usual suspects of Beck, Bachmann, Coulter, Limbaugh and Hannity, I have to give this week's award to Rep. Lynn Jenkins (R-KS).While at a town hall meeting she told the folks assembled there that the GOP still had to find a "great white hope."
"Republicans are struggling right now to find the great white hope," said Jenkins. "I suggest to any of you who are concerned about that, who are Republican, there are some great young Republican minds in Washington."
As examples, Jenkins mentioned Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA), Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI).
Yo Lynn, guess you didn't read the GOP memo that you aren't supposed to say aloud what your party's strategy is for 2010 and 2012.
Do stiff arm salutes, yell 'White Power' and court the neo-Confederate and batshit crazy sheeple vote.
Rep. Lynn Jenkins, shut up fool!
