A town of 6,700 people has a mayor, deputy mayor, city manager and deputy city manager? I think I’m seeing a bit of the problem here.

Jenkins, who shook his head as the indictment was read, called it “definitely racial,” as he was led out of the courtroom to jail.

“We need a federal investigation. It’s a sad day in Monticello,” he said. …

He wants Obama and Holder to come rescue him?

Faster than a speeding bullet the good mayor played the race card.

This is one of those stories written in such as way where it is totally obvious the political affiliation and race of the Mayor/Perp because any mention of party/race is so carefully avoided.

"The mayor of the New York town of Monticello made a racist and curse-filled rant after being arrested for DWI…and it was all caught on tape. Mayor Gordon Jenkins was arrested on Nov. 16 for DWI and his racist rant was later caught by surveillance cameras at the Monticello police station.

“Don’t call me mayor. Call me ni**er because that’s what I am when I’m here in handcuffs,” said Jenkins. “They say you are the Klan. I believe it now. I believe all the f*cking ni**ers and what they be talking about, about you.” Jenkins later then tells one of the officers that “you don’t have control…because these motherf*cking crackers work for you.”

Jenkins was arrested after appearing drunk at the scene of a car accident. CBS New York repors that he received the DWI charge after refusing a Breathalyzer and was also charged with obstructing justice and criminal mischief. Although he has since pleaded not guilty to the charges, his license has been suspended."
