Sen. Kit Bond Puts the Hit on Republican Mayor

The GOP is worried about the Fann race in house district 16, St. Charles County. Or at least Kit Bond is, since Fann’s Republican opponent, Mark Parkinson, is Bond’s protege, and Bond figures the Republican mayor of St. Peters has been … too kind … to Tom Fann. Parkinson is barely thirty and has only one job on his resume: as an aide to Kit Bond.

So we know why Bond wants Parkinson to win. Let me tell you why I believe Bond is worried about his guy: he bothered to show up in St. Charles within the last few days to ream out Mayor Len Pagano for apparently endorsing Tom Fann.

Jo Etta’s diary

Not that Pagano did endorse Fann. Not really.

    Len did not endorse Fann, and will send out a letter so stating. I plan to file an Ethics Complaint after the election — since these SOBs did this too close to the election to do so (according to Ethics rules).
    I hope folks in the 16th realize how underhanded Fann and the Dems have acted.
    Pay attention to who published this — the George Soros-supported “Daily Kos!”
