Bond, Hulshof take “Novelty” show on the road

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Fresh off introducing Kenny Hulshof at his victory party Tuesday night, U.S. Sen. Kit Bond joined the congressman and Republican nominee for governor in, of all places, Novelty, Mo. Kit bond

The duo participated in the annual “Field Day” at the Greenley Research Center, part of the University of Missouri’s Ag School.

But their appearance was no novelty — expect the two GOP lawmakers and political allies to travel a lot together as Hulshof battles Democrat Jay Nixon for the governor, which, of course, was Bond’s old job.

A research specialty at the Greenley Research Center is bugs. Nasty bugs. That’s right - ants, cockroaches, spiders, muschaneys, tarantulas, mosquitos, feltners, etc. Really rotten critters. Bond the Bug Stomper…anyone feel a bit itchy?

I notice even Bond’s head tilts to his right.

Or is the old fellow just getting sleepy?

Come on 2010 election - when Kit Van Winkle will be 72. He clearly needs a long nap.

This seems to be in your face we’re the DC guys and we know best campaigning. By senate standards 72 is not old, but I agree it is time for Kit Bond to come home to Missouri and stay. Enough is enough. Maybe, they’ll even name a bridge after him, wait that’s been done. What’s next a visit by Franklin Delano Bush?

Sheldon, your comment made me spit out my coffee, I was laughing so hard. I had to go back and read it out loud. Thank you for making me laugh this morning. It has been a tough week.

Farmerfran: I’ve had a bit of experience around Senator Bond. I have no clue how old you are, but I’ll bet you’re a bit younger than him. Yet, I’d be willing to bet money that it would wear you out trying to keep up with his schedule.

I am about 20 years younger than Bond, and I feel old every morning. Imagine how he feels. He looks like he feels every bit of 72 while looking 82.

My coon dog is old too, but he loves to chase his tail as fast as he can. It doesn’t mean he gets anywhere.

Funny Claire isn’t coming to help old Jay out. I guess she realizes he would be lousy at Governor too.
