PARTY SCHMARTY: St. Louis County Executive Charlie Dooley announced yesterday at the St. Louis County Economic Council meeting that he is planning to hold a Sen. Kit Bond day to honor the outgoing senator.

Republicans at the gathering weren't pleased. They began muttering about whether Dooley has an agenda in honoring the veteran senator. The GOP plans to use Bond as their standard-bearer in the November elections and didn't take kindly to Democrat Dooley's announcement.
