Enjoy these stocking stuffers for your Christmas reading . . .
*G.O.P BLAME GAME - The National Republican Senate Campaign Committee was apparently against the last-minute visit by President Bush to Missouri for Senator Talent. The A.P. reports it was Talent's people who finally decided W should go to conservative strongholds like Springfield and Joplin, but stay away from St. Louis and Kansas City. But campaign officials complain that the NRSC was off the air for two weeks in Missouri in early September, "leaving Talent without protection as he faced attacks from McCaskill . . . and the Democratic Senate campaign committee."
*"PLEASE SHRED" - The D.C. Gossip Blog Wonkette posts a piece about Sen. Talent's house cleaning efforts in his Washington office.
"Jim Talent Hides the Bodies," reads the headline:
"First, Senator Talent — a smart man, if a somewhat conspicuous one:
There is a huge tower of boxes in the hallway of the 4th floor of the Russell Senate Office Building labeled “Senator Talent’s Office. Please Shred”. We like the directness. Anyone manage to snag a picture?"
*HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND! - The Kansas City Star Buzz Blog reports that all MoDot workers are getting an extra day off this weekend because the agency completed a major road initiative a year early. Cost to taxpayers for the vaca? Almost a million bucks. But some of their readers think it is "crap" to say this is "costing" the state money, and applaud the reward.
*POLLWATCH - In what could be the final SurveyUSA tracking poll rating of his career, outgoing Sen. Jim Talent receives the approval of 40% of Missourians in December. Sen. Kit Bond registers 54%. Here's something to ponder . . . where will Sen. Claire McCaskill rank one month from now when her first SurveyUSA approval rating is revealed? Guesses anybody?
