1. Majority Leader. Fat ass Hassert is still Speaker.

I've heard that he is a crook, but don't have specifics.

5. Regarding Roy Blount, his son is the Governor of

Missouri and he is a piece of shit too, just like his dad!

7. I'll second that emotion

Mattie Boy Governor's current approval rating is around 36%, but Daddy Roy is from one of the most fundie areas in the country here in good ole SW MO--NOTHING is going to change their wingnut minds. He could kill on tv and they would still vote for him. I have walked many miles and knocked on many doors for VERY GOOD Dem candidates --and I get comments like "Sorry, dear, I am a devout Republican"---that wouldn't change if Jesus were on the Dem ballot!

On addition. You might want to take a look around here.

9. Home town is Springfield MO

also the home of Ashcroft.

10. I believe it was he and Aschroft

who derailed the appointment of Ronnie White,an African American, to the Court of Appeals. Blunt had promised African American leaders in his state that he would support White but reneged on his promise.
