If you’re the son or daughter of a Missouri politician, you’re probably having a good day, today.

Michael Steelman, youngest son of Treasurer Sarah Steelman, received a new rifle today purchased at Ammo Alley in Hartsburg where his mom made a campaign stop in her run for governor to announce her strong support of the Second Amendment. (No word yet from fellow Republican Kenny Hulshof on when he’ll be purchasing a reciprical weapon for his daughters).

And of course, tonight on the Comedy Channel, Sen. Claire McCaskill will be appearing on the Stephen Colbert Report. McCaskill says the visit was arranged as a birthday gift to her daughter, a fan of the show.

And if you’re wondering about the Colbert Bump that we here at Political Fix suggested might be in play on tonight’s show, check this out. Apparently, the theory has some legs.
