Father Blunt backs Hulshof
From Ozark, Mo., comes this news (not unexpected) that U.S. Rep. Roy Blunt is endorsing fellow Congressman Kenny Hulshof in the Missouri gubernatorial race.
Sayeth Blunt, the U.S. House Minority Whip:
”I’ve worked with Kenny Hulshof for about 12 years. He understands our state. He shares our values. I believe he will be a great governor.”
Hulshof’s statement in response:
“Roy Blunt is a leader in Missouri Republican politics. He has been very influential in establishing Republican majorities in Jefferson City and is well-respected around the entire state. I am honored to have the support of someone of Roy’s stature.”
This is another prominent endorsement for Hulshof, who already has the backing of U.S. Sen. Kit Bond, the state Chamber of Commerce and the Missouri Right to Life organization to name a few.
The Missouri Dems took the opportunity to (actually before I received the official word from the Hulshof campaign) go after both Blunt and Hulshof.
Jack Cardetti, the Dems spox, in an email:
“In Washington, Congressman Hulshof supports the Bush agenda and in Missouri, Congressman Hulshof embraces the Blunt agenda. Therefore, it’s no surprise that Matt Blunt’s father and George Bush’s top ally would support Congressman Hulshof in this race. While Hulshof’s support for Matt Blunt and George Bush may win him some endorsements from Washington politicians, it won’t win him much support from the people of Missouri, who overwhelmingly want change.”
Speaking of Hulshof
Here is the person that will be taking his seat in congress.

So we can post free advertising for campaigns (Gaw, of all people), but cant even HINT at possibly real news, that would actually be news, instead of conjecture, if the press did their job and got to the bottom of this missing email scandal with Blunt? COME ON!!! AT LEAST LET US MAKE MUSTACHE JOKES!!!!
Hello everyone. Yes, we insist you keep your comments clear of slander or vulgarities. Please respect this, for everyone’s sake.
Did Roy Blunt join the priesthood?
[With apologies to Alfred, Lord Tennyson]
Half a league, half a league,
Half a league forward,
Into the valley of Deceit
Rode the Hulshof endorsers.
“Forward, the Hulshof Brigade!
“Charge at the trial attorneys Blunt said:
Into the valley of deceit
Rode the Hulshof endorsers.
“Forward, the Hulshof Brigade!”
Was Roy Blunt dismay’d?
Not tho’ the Chamber of Commerce knew
But someone had blunder’d
Earmarks to the right of them,
Cronyism to the left of them,
Deficits behind them,
Rent them asunder.
Flash’d their opinions bare,
Flash’d as flimsy as air,
Libeling Steelman everywhere,
While Republicans wonder’d:
The Blunts could not make reply,
Rod Jetton had no reason why,
Their’s but to defame and lie:
Into the valley of deceit
Rode the Hulshof endorsers
When can their glory fade?
O the unsubstantiated charges they made!
Honor the Hulshof brigade
Noble endorsers.
I think it is great that Mr Blunt is supporting such a great guy! He knows what type of man and leader he is by working with him. I can’t believe that Steelman’s supporters canbe so cold ….ormaybe JEALOUS?!?!?!?!?!?!?
