Gov. Matt Blunt was questioned today in St. Louis about his administration’s regular destruction of government e-mails, which appear to in fact be public records, and the firing of one of his attorneys who apparently questioned the legality of the policy.

Do you know why Blunt is so calm answering questions on which he knows he screwed up? Because a majority of Missouri voters don’t care about this or any other issue pertaining to state governement. That’s why he is still in the 40’s when it comes to his ratings.
Until Missouri voters decide they want to care and pay attention expect more of the same from both political parties.

Blunt remains calm because he is use to lying to the public, like so many politicians. Many politicians are great liars and the voters have nothing to do with why politicians lie.
Until Missouri voters stop electing politicians that flat out lie, regardless of the political party affiliation, then those politicians will keep being liars, money-whores, and adulters.

I hope you and others remember that when you vote in the presidential primaries. You do not have to vote for people like Hillary Clinton and Rudy Giuliani

Am i missing something, or shouldn’t this be a bigger deal? Has anyone seen coverage of this story in mainstream media outlets?

This story is very important, the problem is the STL bloggers ie.. pub def or urban review don’t give a Sh*t. Sorry but its true, read blogs from other parts of the state, this is a big issue. google Jeff Doe

It was briefly covered on KWMU news the other day. Blunt explained it away by saying that most of the e-mail correspondence was converted into (paper?…disc?) and put into public record that way. Of course that means you have to trust that they (someone in Jeff City) is making good judgements about what should be saved and what should not.
And trusting anyone in Gov. Blunt’s Jeff City might be a bit of a problem for some….
