Rep. Roy Blunt not being held accountable

[usregimechange]

Rep. Roy Blunt has rarely been held accountable by his supporters in southwest Missouri, and it has made him presumptuous.

This summer he held no town halls, just "events" where he reportedly talked "at" those attending and answered the few permitted questions in broad, rhetorical terms. We understood: he doesn't like to be questioned.

On Aug. 22 in the News-Leader he chided his home-territory newspaper for reporting that the St. Louis Post-Dispatch was "challenging minor points" of a health care claim he'd made to their editorial board. According to Blunt, his only error was mistaking where he got the information in question. Actually, his claim was only half-true at best, yet he continued to tout it and others as egregiously misleading...

On Nov. 12, KYTV ran an interview with Blunt during which he was asked about a report in USA Today that of all the U.S. congressmen he'd taken the largest amount of contributions from lobbyists. He denied the claim and gave a condescending explanation which was totally false. The interviewer said, "OK," and let it go.

2. This is Springfield

The city where the newspaper (News Leader) took Doonsbury out of the comic strip because of it making fun of Poppy Bush.

But according to my son, drew the largest crowd ever of President Obama during the campaign.
