Missouri corruption tied to national corruption
Oh man this is a great read.
http://politicalcortex.com/story/2006/1/3/93352/19226

Papadoc blunt and babydoc blunt are tied into the abramoff scandal, papadoc was the bugman's choice to fill in for him. The national corruption reaches back to us here in misery, where babydoc bought protection from a u.s. attorney by awarding a no bid contract (the reptiles sure like them nobid contracts) to u.s. attorney toddy graves wife to run the Gladstone Missouri DMV office where she's going to pull in a cool 2.6 million.
Our local congess critter has received 3000.00 from abramoffs pac's and he's not about to give it back either, the kicker here is he's toddy's brother sammy.
This is going to get good and should sweep these damn corrupt bastards out of politics and into the prison cell they belong in.
Pass the popcorn.

1. I'm hoping that the Abramoff rot
will bring down the Blunts (love your names for them, btw).

2. As an Illinois resident and used to be avid KMOX listener
(pre-Lumpbowell) I have watched the Missouri and St. Louis rope-a-dope games for many years. Wasn't papadoc involved in the laundering of Texas company funds through mo. pacs for DeLay, since the same thing was illegal in Texas but OK in mo?

5. He sure was
Part of that money found it's way into babydoc's campaign as well. What a choice these reptiles are giving themselves, both of the candidates are tainted and the speaker was the bugman's hand picked puppet, I love it.

3. I can't believe the no bid contract.
I'm unlucky enough to have Sam asshole Graves as my representative, I didn't know about the whole connection with his brother.

7. Thankfully, Abramoff or no Abramoff, Boy Blunder is going down
Idiot boy has pissed off enough people in both parties that he is going to be a one term wonder. The only good that would come of his getting nailed by the Abramoff scandal is that it would limit the damage he could do in the three years he has left.

8. Yeah, no way he'll be re-elected.
He's probably the most hated Governor in MO since I don't know when. His approval polls sit in the low 30's.

9. Wouldn't it be nice if baby went down sooner
due to the Abramhoff connection?

He is without a doubt the worst governor MO has had in my lifetime - he's even worse than Asscroft.

And his dad - well, corrupt doesn't even begin to describe him.

Good info on the Graves family. I had no idea.

Man these people are dirty.

And to think everyone blames Kansas for all the problems in the midwest. LOL

11. You know I have always followed politics in both KS and MO
And I really think What's The Matter With Kansas fits the chain of events in Missouri much better. MO at least used to be a blue state. Then the RW took it over. Kansas was always way far right.
