Blunt Appoints Corrupt Shake-Down Crook

Matt Blunt announced on Tuesday that he was giving Tom Deuschle the post of Director of the Department of Labor and Industrial Relations. The mainstream press has reported this development without comment - but some of us remember that Tom Deuschle was the bag-man back when John Ashcroft was abusing the office of Missouri Attorney General to solicit investigation targets for campaign contributions. This man has confessed to fundraising for his boss while being paid by Missouri taxpayers! And he is supposed to lead the department responsible for labor and industrial relations??

This appointment is subject to senate confirmation. Let's see if our senators have the integrity to reject this insult to Missouri taxpayers. (Hint - they won't.)
