Sure, you could easily dismiss Rep. Lynn Jenkins (R-KS) as a yammering racist dolt for her recent comments about a "great white hope" to challenge President Obama in 2012. But remember, she's human. She enjoys a good laugh, just like you.
Unfortunately, the toothy, perky, spray-tanned bobo likes to laugh at poor people. At a recent town hall meeting, Jenkins met Elizabeth Smith, a 27-year-old single mom whose restaurant job puts her just out of the Medicaid income range, and whose little boy doesn't qualify for SCHIP coverage. "I work full-time," Ms. Smith explained. "I do not have health insurance. My employer does not provide health insurance to me and I cannot afford it privately. Why shouldn't my government guarantee all of its citizens health care?"
I'm paraphrasing here, but the Congresswoman's response went something like, "LOL! You Poor! Go be a grownup!"

More repugnant to me was the wrath from the crowd. Some asshole shouts, "It's not our job to pay for your health care!" Thanks, shithead. Thanks for that. Thanks for that wellspring of compassion. I can't be funny when I see a clip like that. Maybe after it settles in my gut and turns to comedy vomit, but it just angers me, these righteous cocksuckers who act like it's the height of effrontery for a hardworking young mother to actually desire decent health care that could and should be provided for all. Assholes.
This, is a really weird blog. I feel like I am reading something that the Oklahoma Bomber wrote or something. Very angry and annoyed. Oi. I hope you don't own any guns.
Or bombs.
I own and operate my own carpet cleaning company and I to don't have health coverage do to the economy it has hit me hard this year!
