TKC BREAKING NEWS!!! INTOLERANT REPUBLICAN WHITE LADY ANNIE PRESLEY TO RUN FOR KANSAS CITY'S 4TH DISTRICT AT-LARGE CITY COUNCIL SEAT!!!

This afternoon some rather well-connected TKC TIPSTERS are telling me that a prominent GOP lady is getting ready to try and shake things up in mostly Democrat controlled Kansas City proper City Council elections.

WORD IS ANNIE PRESLEY WANTS TO BE YOUR 4TH DISTRICT AT LARGE COUNCIL LADY!!!

Right off the bat, this is bad news for 4th District At-Large Candidate Anne McGregor because it puts another woman in the running and takes away a bit of her branding . . . McGregor has screened well across the City but is sadly having problems with her website.

Anyhoo . . .



Even better for TKC . . .

PRESLEY HAS WRITTEN A BUNCH OF STUPID THINGS ON THE INTERNETS THAT SHOULD REMIND KANSAS CITY VOTERS NOT TO TAKE REPUBLICANS SERIOUSLY!!!

Strange that a somewhat prominent Kansas City PR lady should write something so intolerant and off putting . . . Here's a money quote from Presley's silly blog written for Kansas City's high society mag, The Independent:

"If Elena Kagan is confirmed, six of our Supreme Court Justices will be Roman Catholic and three will be Jewish. I find this absolutely astonishing. What I find further astonishing is that no one is ranting and raving about it. According to the Pew Foundation, 51% of America worships in a Protestant church, 24% at a Catholic Mass and 1.7% in a Synagogue. It’s almost unbelievable that not one law school in America is able to produce a Protestant qualified to sit on the High Court. Hmmmm."

Wow. This tiny bit of stupid religious intolerance should work well given that most of the power brokers in the 4th District are Catholic or Jewish people.

Fun stuff as Kansas City's 4th District At Large race gets even more crowded and kinda silly . . . It also reminds me how much I miss my mentor Beth Gottstein who helped me make sense of it all with her virtuous leadership.

Sigh.
