The Blunt Legacy

David Pearce (r ): MOHELA insolvency "...a total shock..." (+)
by: Michael Bersin


I don't like to waste a lot of time badmouthing the guys who've left office, but we should remember what Gov. Matt Blunt and the (so called) conservative Republicans did to MOHELA.

Governor Blunt Ordered the Code Red

In the movie, A Few Good Men, Jack Nicholson's character would not acknowledge that he ordered the unauthorized disciplinary procedure which lead to the death of a young marine. I don't know how others feel when watching the movie but it doesn't bother me all that much. The fact is military leaders me decisions all the time that lead to injuries and deaths of their troops. It's a tough part of the job. The problem with Colonel Jacob was that he was going to let two enlisted men stand before a court martial for something that was his responsibility. This conduct is truly unbecoming for a United States Military Officer.
But that's a movie. What we had at Governor Blunt's office was reality. He was responsible for the e-mail problems at his office. They had numerous problems retaining the state's business records and also attempted to destroy those records. For that mess, I can't get too worked up, but I can not excuse the firing of the attorney who tried to stop it and the attempt to ruin his reputation with slander.
It's a shame Gov. Blunt doesn't think we can handle the truth!

In Search of the Truth

Now we know why this shitbag was quitting.

State rep charged with assaulting teenRep. Scott Muschany, R-Frontenac, was indicted today in a reported sexual assault of a 14-year-old girl in Jefferson City the day after this year’s Legislative session ended. Get more on this exclusive story from STLtoday.com. [more]

I'm waiting for the truth from the governor's office on why Gov. Blunt quit.
